Thank you for posting on Twitter your favourite books. Many of these are new to me so once we’re back at school I need to order some of these titles for our class library. Keep posting your favourite books please.

To help continue our reading skills, we need to keep practising our common words. To help with this I’ve added some activities on Education City for all P1s. I wonder how many of you will complete these. We’ve been so impressed at how many of you have been attempting online activities,

Lots of you have also been inventing your own games to practise these words. I’ve seen using a Nerf gun and reading the word when you hit it, playing pairs and writing the words on big paper and rolling a ball, when the ball lands on a word, you have to read it. I’ve also seen 2 children pick up a piece of Lego every time these see one of their common words in a book, you can then use the Lego to build a tower, I wonder how high these towers can be. Can you think of any other game to help learn these words. You should have lots of common words in your red reading bags. All of your P1 teachers are looking forward to seeing new ways to help learn your words.

If your want to continue with our class Reading books, you can join Oxford Owl. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/     On Oxford Owl there is a section on ebooks. Today you could look at these books, they will practise the words you have been learning.
