Reading with our Buddies

25 Feb

During the Spring term Year 6 children have buddied up and spent time reading with their friends in Reception classes. Year 6 children have really enjoyed being role models and sharing their love of picture books with the younger children in the school.

The weekly sessions have been a joy to witness phonics have been practiced, expression and intonation could be heard, new friendships have been established and the pleasure of sharing a good story was enjoyed by all.
