Reading
Reader - The School Trip’, Read the first story, ‘The St. Patrick’s Day Jumper’
You can read a page or two each day or read it all. This is the main story for the next two weeks so no need to rush through it, take your time and focus on any new words. Reading over a story a few times is very important as it helps with fluency in reading.
https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/books/free-ebooks there’s a number of books available here for you to read online. You just need to set up an account and you have lots of access to readers.
Continue reading any books you have at home.

This is simply a guide to what you could be doing, if it works, for you and your family. Please do not feel any pressure to complete everything. My email is missohanrahan@gmail.com if you have any questions.

I hope you are all well and staying safe. Missing all the lovely, smiley faces from First Class.
