Reading
We love reading in Year 6!
Every day before lunch we have our Class Story Time and read a book together that the children have voted for as a class.
Our current class reads will be selected by each class during the first week in the form of a democratic vote (Article 12 - Your right to say what you think should happen and be listened to).
The children will be able to choose from a selection of books taken from the Year 6 Reading Spine.
6B are reading: Holes by Louis Sachar
6Y are reading: Malamandar by Thomas Taylor
Here are 50 Recommended Reads for Year 6:
