Year One Reading Workshop

A massive thank you to all the parents/carers who attended our Reading Workshop. We hope that you found it interesting and informative. For those that could not attend, we have attached all the information that was shared below. We hope this enables you to feel more confident and enjoy the reading journey with your children.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Sometimes, in Year One, some strange and unusual things happen and recent events have proven that to be true. It all started one day when we came into our classes to find muddy pawprints on the floor. After checking our CCTV, we discovered that A TIGER had visited our classrooms! This raised all sorts of questions and provided us with ample writing opportunities. We hope you enjoy seeing all the progress we are making...

"We're going on a tiger hunt."
