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 - In our story, 'On the Way Back Home,' why did the boy get stuck on the moon? (his plane ran out of petrol) Why did the Martian get stuck on the moon? (his engine had broken down)
Why do the boy and the Martian make friends? (because they both need each other's help to get back home?) How did they help one another? (the boy brought petrol and a spanner back from Earth to fix the Martian's engine, the Martian lowered a rope and pulled the boy back up to the moon, then he put petrol in the boy's tank)
