Story time and Reading this half term
Our book for this half term that links to our topic is The Firework-Makers' Daughter by Philip Pulman. If you have your own copy, why not read along during our story time or read it as part of our reading for pleasure time during the day.
The Firework-Makers' Daughter
Lila longs to become a Firework-Maker like her father. Against his wishes, she runs away to the volcano, Mount Merapi, to find Royal Sulphur, a task all Firework-Makers must complete. Lila meets many challenges during her journey up the mountain. Her encounter with the Fire-Fiend determines once and for all whether she will become a Firework-Maker.

Reading
Spend time with a 'Reading for Pleasure' book at some point today and see if other family members want to join in with you. Or you could look for a book to read here https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/
I have also included below a list of books to read before you leave Primary School. The first page is for 5-8 year olds and the second page is for 9-11 year olds. Please have a look and see how many you have read or could read - especially while we are at home more.
