Reading:

We have started our new class book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Children are more than welcome to purchase a copy to read along in class.

In Year 5, children are responsible for changing their own books independently. We do ask that children read at home everyday and mark this by a simple comment in their homework diary. Please do encourage your child to read aloud, even though they are in Year 5, to build the stamina with their fluency.

Example comment:

Name of Book: Gangsta Granny

Peter read from page 12-16. He struggled on the words ‘inspiration’ and ‘necessary’.
