Reading Recommendations
Book Recommendation of the Week
Monday 9th October 2017
Mrs Waddington was incredibly excited when she visited Year Two this morning because so many children had fantastic book recommendations to make. What a variety as well! In Miss Hawkin’s class, children recommended The Minecraft Guide, The BFG and a whole range of non-fiction books about the Titanic, and let us not forget The Owl Who’s Afraid of the Dark and Hairy Maclary! Children in Mrs Wolf’s class could not wait to tell me about their favourite class book; Eat Your Peas, which is all about a child who does not like to eat vegetables. They particularly love this book because of the repetition; they nearly know it off by heart! Finally, the children in Mrs Sinclair’s class are thoroughly enjoying reading The Twits because the characters are very funny. Keep reading Year Two, your enthusiasm for reading today was marvellous!
