If your child has completed their reading book, and both parent and teacher are happy for them to move onto their next book, your child has the responsibility to select and look after that reading book. They need to show the teacher before placing it in their bag. The class teacher will make a note of the new book they have chosen to keep a record.

Guided Reading Questions
When you read with your child, please use some of these questions - and ones of your own/ more suited to the text they are reading - to challenge their thinking. Your child may be able to read the text well; fluent, accurate, steady pace, with expression. However, do they understand the context of what is happening? Are they able to make connections or make inferences about what the author is trying to convey? 3 or 4 questions either during or after your reading session will improve your child's reading and help them synthesise and evaluate what they have read.

What’s the best thing about being a teacher?
The best thing about being a Teacher is when I see one of my students display some resilience in their learning. Then, when they have finally grasped the concept, I enjoy looking at their facial expressions as if to say 'I understand now'.
What is your first memory from school?
One of my first memories from school would have to be the Easter parade. When I was 4 or 5 years old, we walked through and around the school with all of our parents standing on the infant yard, clapping all of the children as they walked proudly - and with caution - with their Easter bonnets on their head! Making those papier mache bonnets was extremely fun and I remember the enjoyment I felt as I lapped up everyone’s approval of my bonnet!
What are your must-have smartphone apps?
BBC sport is one of my must-have apps as I like to stay connected to what’s happening in the world of sport! I also could not do without my notes app - I jot down all of my thoughts/ ideas on there so that I don’t forget them!
What would your last meal be?
My last meal would have to be a succulent, delicious beef burger in a brioche bun!
