Our class text this term

This term we will be reading The firework makers daughter by Phillip Pullman. Feel free to purchase this book for your child or if they have this book to bring it in to read along.

These are our school expectations.

• To remain in their green zone on doodle maths, doodle spell, and doodle time each week.
• To read 3x a week and to record it in their home school diary.
• For children to have their PE kit every PE session with appropriate shoes.
• For children to complete their silver reading challenge (This can be found at the back of your child’s home school dairy) or their bronze if not yet completed.

 

Shout out for reading volunteers! 

Would you like to play apart in helping children with their reading skills?

We are looking for one or two reading volunteers who would be willing to come into school one afternoon a week to listen to some of Andersen class read.

The day you come in will be up to you! All you need to do is let us know the day and time of afternoon which suits you best, and we will try our best to accommodate this. 

In these sessions you will be listening to the children read their books and ask questions related to the story. This will help them develop their fluency and comprehension also counting towards their silver reading awards!

If you are interested in offering your time to support reading at KPNS or know someone who can help, please contact the school office  (schooloffice@keyworth.notts.sch.uk).  

Thank you.
