Top Tips for Reading:

Sibling Readers club
We have recently trained up our year 5 and 6 children who have siblings to read with them. They do a fantastic job segmenting and blending words for their brothers/sisters! The children have really enjoyed listening to their siblings and asking them questions about the stories that are being read. A huge well done to key stage one, fabulous reading! Miss Gregory.

We have been lucky enough to have beautiful books donated to us by Accrington Libraray all about our Mental Health, there are stories for all ages/ Year 6 Mental Health/ worries and anxieties/ anger and ways to recognise its ok to feel all these things!
