"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
Dr Seuss
We hope you and your families are keeping well and managing Home Learning with your child. We wanted to remind you of the importance of reading and that there are lots of resources for you to avail of. It is great to see lots of children continuing to use Accelerated Reading and getting lots of points for your quizzes, keep it up boys and girls! A few children have yet to complete their Star Reading tests so please do so in order for their teacher to issue their points target for this term.

There is also a host of websites online with fun games and activities to encourage and develop your child's reading. Some of these include:
