Please make sure that all books are returned on Wednesday for returning to the Library to exchange for a fresh group of readers for the new term. Please continue some daily home reading and practising of sight words during the holidays. Some writing would be very beneficial too so that the children stay in touch with their progress this term. They can keep a diary of their activities during their holidays.
