Reading: We encourage the children to read every day and bring their books every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We have a reading challenge to see if the children can read 100 books in a year. If you read atleast three times per week, you will earn a certificate. There will be a prize for the person who reads the most books! We complete shared reading lessons 3 times per week - we do something called VIPERS which stands for Vocabulary, Inferance, Predictions, Explainations, Retrieval and Sequencing or Summarising. This is to promote the different skills that are needed to enjoy and understand the life skill of reading. I will organising a Book Swap Day this will be an day were you can bring in a book and swap - this is a good way of reading different types of books for free! More details will follow throughout the year. I will organise more readathon sessions when we invite our families to read together as this proved popular last year.

Our Year overview

Our class had an amazing time at Chester Zoo, We loved seeing the animals and had lots of fun investigating where they lived in the wild. A great day filled with happy memories.

Look at what we have made in art this term - we have looked at Claes Oldenburg who made huge sculptures from every day items - we decided to make large sculptures of things that are found in our classroom, we worked hard as a team and Mrs Lea was very proud of our final outcome.

Our next class book is called A Stage full of Shakespeare stories - Get lost in Shakespeare’s most loved stories with this beautiful anthology of some of the most popular stories in the world. Introduce the children in your life to a collection of the most important stories every written, collected and retold by the much-loved author Angela McAllister. Featuring classics such as The Tempest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Othello, each story is rewritten in a comprehensive way that is accessible for children. This perfectly sized anthology is stunningly illustrated by collage artist Alice Lindstrom whose incredible artwork makes these stories dance to life before your very eyes. We will be working on Julius Caesar which goes well as we are learning about the Romans in history.

Our Class Reading Book is: Stig of the Dump.

Stig of the Dump by Clive King is 50 years old and the story of Barney and his best friend, cave-man Stig, is as fresh today as it was when first published.

'Stig's nice. He's my friend'

Nobody believes Barney when he says he's discovered a boy living wild in the dump. But for Barney, Stif is totally real. They become great friends, learn each other's ways and embark on a series of exciting adventures.

I think we will enjoy both books this term and yet again we will be adding the books to our favourites! We do love a good book in 3/4L!
