READING - OUR CLASS KEY TEXTS

Throughout the year we will read and enjoy lots of different books. We have a key class text linked to each of the themes we are studying. It is very helpful if you have your own copy of the book to bring into school to read along, but we can provide you with a copy if you don't have one. These are the books we will be reading and enjoying as part our English lessons:

  • Here We Are: Notes from Planet Earth - Oliver Jeffers, Flat Stanley - Jeff Brown
