The children and the teachers are loving their new class books! Michael Morpugo Zana Fraillon @peterbunzl and more! These amazing books have inspired our children to read more by the same authors and as the displays are in the hall have generated great discussions! 😊 📚

If this government wants state schools to be more like independent schools, they could do with funding them better. Latin’s brilliant, but smaller class sizes would be even nicer. And perhaps even, for September, some ventilation?

Ways of solving reading difficulties will legitimately vary from one pupil to another. Objecting to RR almost seems like opposing responding to individual pupils' difficulties in favour of your favoured catch-all teaching 'method'(script??) Hmm.. 2/2
