Learning Journey

Our new Learning Journey sees our geographers utilising their research information to provide an informed view on whether the population of London is likely to increase or decrease in the next 20 years.  They will write a report to present to an Urban Planner, with the purpose of informing future planning.  We have real life visitors planned to come and engage with us and the end of our final task.  Will their report receive the approval of our town planners?  Watch this space . . .

Reading Practice

Being able to read fluently and comprehend  is essential for all children's success across the curriculum. Reading is taught daily in Elm Class with a particular focus on developing a passion for reading for pleasure. Our class book corner is well stocked with a variety of books and the children can also access the school library throughout the day. 

Children must have their reading book and reading record in school every day so that I can enjoy and celebrate reading with them. The children choose two library books within their reading range - a quick read that they can read and quiz on in a few days and a longer chapter book which make take 1-2 weeks to read. Library books can be changed on any day both in the classroom and in the library. ​

All children are expected to read at home daily for at least 15 minutes and are asked to keep a log of their reading in their Reading Record  After completing a book, children are to quiz on Accelerated Reader at school or at home.
