In KS1, we take reading very seriously. We are so impressed with the children’s dedication to become fantastic, fluent readers. We love hearing the stories they tell, which books they enjoy and most of all we love hearing them read.
In Year 1, we have been doing some ‘freeze frames’ of our class novel this week, The Enchanted Wood. We retold our favourite parts of the story and acted it out.
The Battle of the Bears and the Land of Ice and Snow
The Rocking Land
The Three Bears House
The talking bunnies
In Year 2, the children have been reading short recaps of their favourite chapters in the book. The children have also been using their imagination to draw a picture of a characters house, based on the description in the book. This is the house of Moonface, where everything inside is round!
Help at home by discussing books you have read and ask children to recap parts of the story. Ask children what they enjoyed the most!
