We will be returning to using reading records. We understand that this was a helpful way of communicating and we are still encouraging any comments, questions, or queries to be noted inside the reading records. We will continue to check these on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but if you do have anything of a urgent or sensitive nature that you would like to discuss, please pop into the classroom before 8.55am.
