If you read atleast three times per week, you will earn a certificate. There will be a prize for the person who reads the most books! We complete shared reading lessons 3 times per week - we do something called VIPERS which stands for Vocabulary, Inferance, Predictions, Explainations, Retrieval and Sequencing or Summarising. This is to promote the different skills that are needed to enjoy and understand the life skill of reading. I will organising a Book Swap Day this will be an day were you can bring in a book and swap - this is a good way of reading different types of books for free! More details will follow throughout the year. I will organise more readathon sessions when we invite our families to read together as this proved popular last year.

Our Year overview

Our class had an amazing time at Chester Zoo, We loved seeing the animals and had lots of fun investigating where they lived in the wild. A great day filled with happy memories.

Our next class books are called Zeraffa Giraffa, we will be learning about the true story of the giraffe that travelled on the River Nile all the way to France.

Zeraffa Giraffa : Hofmeyr, Dianne, Ray ...

This is the astonishing true story of Zeraffa, a giraffe who was sent as a gift from Egypt to France in 1826. A young boy, Atir, takes care of Zeraffa on her epic journey and the sailors sing songs as she gazes down at them. In France, Atir leads her through the countryside, and thousands of people marvel at Zeraffa. Paris falls in love with Zeraffa. The King builds her a special house in the Jardin des Plantes. On warm nights, the young princess visits, while Atir whispers stories to Zeraffa of a hot land far away. The amazing story by an award-winning author of a giraffe’s extraordinary voyage from Africa to Paris.

Our Class Reading Book is: The Iron Man by Ted Hughes - I am sure we will enjoy reading this book and answering VIPERS questions each week. This will be our shared reading book too. There will be a class project on this too - more details will follow!

The Iron Man: Illustrated Edition by ...

The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff.
Where had he come from? Nobody knows.
How was he made? Nobody knows.

Mankind must put a stop to the dreadful destruction caused by the Iron Man. A trap is set for him, but he cannot be kept down. Then, when a terrible monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save the world. I think 3/4L will have another favourite story!
