Last week, 3,4B began to read two books as our class novel. They both link to our current history topic and they’re both great reads. They’re also written by the same author.
As we read more of each book, we thought hard about which book we’d like to read as our new class novel. Then, on Friday, we had to decide. Because we live in a democracy (ask your child how this word links to their previous history learning about Ancient Greece), we had a vote.

Help at home by asking your child about what they’ve read at school:
- What’s happened so far?
- What do you predict will happen in the end?
- Who is your favourite character? Why?
- Would you recommend this book to ______? Why / why not?
As always, when you’re having this conversation, don’t forget to talk in full sentences – this really helps with our oracy (speaking and listening) skills.
