Assemblies Children will bring their book bags home every day. Reading - children are asked to read at least three times a week, from a free choice book. We ask parents to hear their child read and check their understanding of what they have read. This information should be recorded in the child’s reading diary. Guided reading books are not sent home in KS2.

Children may change their home readers as soon as they have finished them. The Class Teacher will direct them to the correct level.
