Reading

What are we reading in class?

During Autumn 2, we will be looking at 'Viking Voyagers' by Jack Tite and 'The Polar Bear Explorer's Club' by Alex Bell. 

Around 1,200 years ago the legendary voyaging Norsemen set sail to raid and trade - the Viking Age had begun. Step back in time to find out what Viking life was like, how they travelled, where they traded and their rich mythology. Come face to face with a fearsome berserker, explore inside a Viking longhouse and learn how these expert boat builders made their fleets. 

Stella has always wanted to be an explorer like her adoptive father, Felix, who is a member of The Polar Bear Explorers’ Club. The problem is that girls aren’t allowed to join The Club.  When the chance arises to join Felix, Stella is determined to prove she can be as good an explorer as anyone.

We will be using our Reading VIPERS to help us to answer questions.

Reading is one of the most important things you can do to improve your education. You need to remember to read at least 3 times a week and write your reading down in your Reading Record. Your parents also need to sign to say they agree with the amount of times you are reading.

Parents, it is also helpful if you listen to your child read at least once or twice in a week just to check they are reading properly. There is a list of reading prompts to support you and your child reading at home at the bottom of the page.
