The New Year has brought a burst of eagerness to read and write in Year 1. It’s been amazing to see how enthusiastic the children in Year 1 are. I love it!
Right after lunch, the children get their reading books and go to a quiet space and read once to themselves then quietly find a partner and read to each other. As a special treat, a child is chosen to read in front of the whole class. The children have really picked up on the need to read in a loud voice, show the pictures in the book slowly to the audience and they are even staring to read with expression!
We’ve even had a few eager beavers read some Dr. Suess books to the older year groups in the school. What a brave bunch!
The children are also showing a real interest in writing. They have started to write creative stories with illustrations. Please do pop by the class to read their storybooks and even, perhaps to hear the children reading.
