Long Lane Spring Reading Bingo Grid.pdf
We would like to introduce the Reading Bingo challenge linked above. We would like all children to enjoy this spring reading challenge at their own level and pace. Children have until the end of the Easter holidays to complete as many of the challenges as they can. Of course, these can be adapted to suit their age and level of reading to ensure that all children can join in. For example, adults can share books with children to enable them to access books they may not yet be able to read independently.
On Monday 15th January, we had a visit from poet James Carter. He supported children with writing different types of poems from kennings to cinquains. A finale performance was then held in the hall at the end of the day. A huge thanks to the PTA for funding this fantastic experience. http://www.jamescarterpoet.co.uk/
It was great to see so many parents and family members come in to classes at the end of the day to sit and read with the children. This included reading one to one, in small groups and joining in with whole class reading sessions. Children in Rainbow class also enjoyed having family members in to stay and play.
On Friday 3rd March pupils and staff dressed up as their favourite book character to celebrate World Book Day - everyone looked amazing!
We will be celebrating our collective love of reading at Long Lane by dressing up for World Book Day on Friday 3rd March this year. Please encourage your child to think about how they could bring a favourite book to life by dressing as a character or wearing an outfit to represent their chosen book. Here are some creative ideas to help.
