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.
Reception - What can you remember about the lifecycle of a frog? (egg or frogspawn/tadpole/froglet/frog/egg or frogspawn) Why do frogs lay so many eggs? (because there are a lot of predators and not all of the eggs/tadpoles/frogs will survive) Which animals like to eat frogs? What do frogs like to eat?
Year 1 - In our story, Stuck, Floyd throws an orangutan ‘who surely had somewhere else to be’ up into the tree. Where do you think the orangutan was when Floyd found him and how did he catch him?
Year 2 - What happened when Marco posed his questions at the start of the book to the other foxes?
KS1 SRP - In our story, This Is the Bear. Where is the bear?
KS2 SRP - What colours would you paint your house which celebrates how unique you are?
Year 3 - How were How the Stars Came to Be and The Midnight Panther similar? How were they different? Which story did you prefer? Why?
Year 4 - How many different polygons can you name?
Year 5 - What did we find out about the struggle for equality in South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s role in it?
Year 6 - ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo – What do you predict will happen at the end of the book? Why?
We are reaching out to share an initiative at Darell aimed at supporting our families during these financially challenging times. We have established a food bank within the school and would greatly appreciate any contributions.
