Working at home - English

All pupils have been given a work booklet to work through with different reading and writing activities to complete. It is also all available on the school website.

It would also benefit our pupils if they read at home – this could be reading their school reading book, newspapers, magazines or other books (even listening to stories and talking about them with people at home would help pupils to develop their reading skills).
