Reading:
Please try and read with your child every night. Really focus on asking questions about their book as this will help them with their reading comprehension.
Finally, if there are any questions or concerns please feel free to speak to any of us before or after the school day.
Keep in touch by checking our page often and discover what we are learning about through our regular blog posts!

The link to our Google classroom is here: Y5 Google Classroom 2024-25 (Login details are required to access)
