Weekly Update 30.4.21

Hi,
We have had an exciting postal delivery this week in UKS2! This half term we have started reading a new guided reading text which links to our science topic, "Evolution and Inheritance". The book is Darwin's Dragons by Lindsay Galvin and we were lucky enough to receive a personalised letter and some bookmarks from the author!
Darwin's Dragons is another exciting adventure story and we thought this would be a perfect fit for UKS2 after how much they enjoyed reading The Explorer by Katherine Rundell in the Spring term.
We are always promoting reading for pleasure and love to see the children enjoying the texts we select for our class readers in school. Reading Lindsay's letter and her words of encouragement really motivated the children this week and engaged them in the book.
We hope the children's enthusiasm for this text will inspire them to read at home regularly this half term and strive to achieve the "Reader of the Week" award in Special Mention assembly. The recipient of "Reader of the Week" this week and next week will also receive one of the Darwin's Dragons bookmarks kindly sent to us!
**Y6 Leavers' Hoodie Reminder**
Y6 pupils received a letter this week regarding leavers' hoodies. If you wish for your child's name to be included please return the attached slip ASAP.
