Reading
Reading at St. Thomas’ is very important to us. Reading can open up many opportunities for our children.
In class, we have reading for pleasure time where children can choose a book from the class library and enjoy their chosen book. The children will be able to visit our school library and take a book home. Please remember it must be returned to school.
STEM Dazzle Books:
Children who are trying super hard in STEM subjects will get to choose a dazzle book from the library.
STEM Dazzle Book Winners:
Challenge books
Children will come home with a book that they should read and once finished return to class. They will be given a sheet to fill in about this book. If a child has read 6 of the challenge books they will be rewarded with a badge from Mr Deane!
Take a quiz from each subject to remember what we have been learning!
