World Book Day is on Thursday 4th March 2021.
We are celebrating by having a focus on reading Monday 1st March - Friday 5th March. Each morning Zoom will start with a poem and in each literacy lesson, your child will listen to a different story. We will also be asking your child to complete an additional reading challenge each day. Download the document at the bottom of the page for more details and useful links.
The Year 2 Reading Challenge - try to complete one challenge each day during Reading Week

Read and perform a poem – you could choose one from our list or choose your own. As an extra challenge – learn it off by heart |
Read a book to someone you love - you could try doing it on a video call |
Take a book outside and read it in the fresh air – make sure you wrap up warm! |

Read a book and then design a new front cover for it |
Make a den and read a book inside it |
Listen to someone read a story online |
