Our focus during Autumn Term 1 is Reading.
We want to raise the attainment of reading, in particular with reading comprehension. i.e inference, sequencing events and vocabulary.
We have had a reading challenge where all classes are trying to read at least 80 times a week at home. If the class read over 80 times they receive a new book and the class with the highest total receives a second book of choice. The children are doing really well at increasing how many time they read at home – well done!
| Class | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 |
| Pearl | 37 | 66 | 83 | 72 | 74 |
| Ruby | 44 | 75 | 83 | 84 | 80 |
| Diamond | 72 | 78 | 77 | 98 | 88 |
| Sapphire | 57 | 64 | 67 | 54 | 58 |
| Emerald | 63 | 72 | 74 | 66 | 76 |
| Topaz | 47 | 65 | 79 | 83 | 94 |
We have held ‘Reading and Phonics’ workshops where parents/carers can come in and enjoy reading activities with their child.
We have changed the way we teach Reading Comprehension and now have whole class reading comprehension where we read the same book for at least a week and discuss the vocabulary, the sequence of events and do lots of fun inference activities.
