This is what ‘flooding’ looks like at Middle Park. In every class from FS2 to Year 2, three times a week a team of staff are drafted in for a 30 minute focused reading session, and twice a week in Year 3. We know that by increasing the frequency of quality of reading time in school we can support children to progress in their reading so that they can start reading to learn and reading for pleasure.

Cameron in Year 2 has been investigating coins in his homework and had this brilliant idea as a way of recording his learning. Great job Cameron!

Thanks to Emma and our lovely catering team for a delicious American Diner day yesterday. We loved it.

Year 5 have been extending metaphor sentences through a study of poetry and the Chinese poet Hanshan. Have a look at some of the wonderful poems they have created. It is so exciting to see the children fall in love with poetry as a genre.

Year 4 are working so hard on their times tables. A bit of ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ fun is definitely helping!
