Home Reading

We are encouraging your child to read at home as often as they can and record it in their diary with the date and your signature.

In class the children move their names onto the corresponding zone. Each week children's names who are in the green zone are put into a hat and one is selected at random to pick a prize from the prize box on Friday. 

Three or more signatures =Green zone

Less than three = Yellow zone

No signatures = Red zone

We hope to see you all in the green zone.
