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.

Why do frogs lay so many eggs? (because there are a lot of predators and not all of the eggs/tadpoles/frogs will survive)
