Super Readers - Lillie Reads 'About A Bear'

Year one's topic this term is all to with bears. We have been listening to bear stories when we visit the library. So far we have enjoyed hearing about Douglas and his search for a hug, as well as Bernard who is desperate to stay up late!

 

Lillie liked telling the story of this not-so-little bear and all the things he likes to do! Good job Lillie!

Key Stage One Library Books

This week, children in years one and two have been visiting the library in their groups to listen to a story and choose books to take home. For those who are new to borrowing books from the library, once they have read their book at home they can return it to the library in exchange for another. For each book they return, they receive a raffle ticket. The ticket is posted into their class post box, then at the end of each half term a winner is selected from each key stage one class. The more times your child brings their book back, the more chance they have of winning! By returning their books they will also earn points on their class library tracker card, which could help them to win a book for their class at the end of the term.

 

Don't forget, you can log onto our librarian site at home to view what book your child is currently reading, help them to write reviews and reserve books. To log on, simply follow the link... https://u009108.microlibrarian.net/

 

 

The username is your child's full name, all lowercase with no spaces. The password is 'broadford' this is the same for all pupils.
