The Reading Corner

Welcome to our weekly section of the newsletter all about reading. Every week, we will share a question (or two) with you about the book your child is reading in school. Please use these questions to help you find out a little more about what your child has been reading in school and continue to develop their love of reading.

Wonder - What part of the pond does Big Blub live in? Deep, dark, murky part of the pond. Where does Tad go in the pond to keep safe? Shallow, sunny parts of the pond and behind the rocks and plants when the sun goes in. 

Peake - Can you perform a section of the poem 'The Wicked Witch's Song' to grown-ups at home? Which words could you say loudly or softly? Can you add some actions? 

Weir - What could have happened to the star when it disappeared?

Thunberg - Can you retell Theseus and the Minotaur from the Minotaur's perspective?

Darwin - Do you prefer to read fiction, non-fiction or a mixture of both?

Attenborough - What did you like about how the poem ‘Snow Leopard’ is written? Do you have a question for poet Philip Gross?

Parks - Why do you think we could describe Fritz as an optimist and Karl as a pessimist?
