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 - How is Tad different to her brothers and sisters? (she is the smallest in the whole wide pond) Why does Big Blub never catch her? (because she is strong and clever, knows all the best hiding places and she swam up)
Year 1 – In Animal Atlas it says, '...It can reach the leaves in the trees with it's very long neck?' Which animal is it describing? Why does it need to reach the leaves? What do scientists call animals that only eat plants? (herbivores) What do other animals eat? (meat - carnivores, meat and plants - omnivores)
Year 2 - Do you think there will be any foxes on the island? Why? Why not? (RE The Antlered Ship)
Year 3 - Did you enjoy the poem 'The Dancer' by Karl Nova? Why? Why not?
Year 4 - Do you prefer to read fiction, non-fiction or a mixture?
