Reading books are to go home. If your child is a free reader they can change their book when it has been read. If your child is not a free reader, we advise that the reading book needs to be read several times before being changed. Reading books and records are to be brought every day, please. Please make sure that your child is reading for at least 20 minutes each night.

Reading Books We will send the children home with their reading book and a liaison book. A St. Johns book bag would be most useful to place books and letters in. Please write a comment when you hear your child read. In Year 3 children are grouped for guided reading – this takes place once a week and focuses upon inference and deduction.

Personal equipment If you wish, you may supply your child with a small pencil case, but it is not essential. Pencil cases may contain pencils, pencil crayons and a ruler. Children do not need gel and felt pens.

We will stay to answer individual questions you may have.
