    Research has shown that children who read regularly, and are frequently read to, will make significantly more progress than those who do not. We want all of our children to love reading and to read for pleasure. Reading with your child for as little as 10 minutes every day can make an enormous difference and, is there anything nicer than snuggling up with your child to enjoy a great story? Throughout the year we will be planning a range of exciting activities to promote reading. We are also very pleased to announce that we will have two Reading Champions this year! Our link with the poet Paul Cookson will continue and he will again be a regular feature in school. Alongside Paul as Reading Champion this year, we have Tom Palmer who will also be launching our World Cup topic in the summer. We are also pleased to have the fantastic Simon Bartram visiting Key stage 1 this November. In this booklet you will find lots of information and tip tips to help you support your child with their reading. We have included some suggestions of our favourite books from Year 5 over the next few pages and there are some fantastic reads on the list! So, when you can find a minute, pick one and enjoy it with them. Enjoy the information enclosed and thank you for your continued support.

  • Double Act to the Whole Addyman Family
    WINNER OF THE SMARTIES PRIZE AND THE CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL I'm an only child. I always longed for a sister. I thought it would be particularly marvellous to have a twin sister. Then you need never feel lonely. You'd always have someone to play with, someone to share secrets, someone to walk to school with and whisper to at night. I've always been fascinated by identical twins. It must be so weird looking at another person exactly like yourself. Some twins invent their own language when they're very little and get wrapped up in their own private twin-world. I wanted to write about this. I decided my twins would be particularly close because their mum had died. I like jewel names so I called their mother Opal. I thought she'd call her twin daughters jewel names too. Rubies are red and Garnets are red, often quite hard to tell apart. They seemed perfect names. Rubies are much more expensive than garnets. I thought my Ruby would particularly like that! Ruby was born twenty minutes before Garnet. She says that makes her the boss. She certainly bosses Garnet around! The twins look absolutely identical but they've got very different personalities. Ruby is very bouncy and funny and a terrible show off. She's desperate to be an actress when she grows up. Garnet absolutely detests the idea of acting. She's a very quiet shy girl, imaginative and hard working. I don't think you'd be able to tell the twins apart at the beginning of the day – but you'd have more luck at the end.

He was wearing his Sunday best — a brown suit, a little tight, and shiny in the seat, with such a stiff starched collar he had to hold his head up high the whole time. His unruly hair was slicked down flat, perhaps with perfume, because he smelled powerfully sweet. Two smirking young girls from church walked past arm Sapphire Battersea arm, tossing their heads in their dainty bonnets and swishing their fine velvet skirts.
