Year 1 - Reading Passport
20 BOOKS TO READ
Over the summer, each class teacher has been compiling a list of 20 books to read by the end of the year. These books are a mix of different texts, authors and text types. These can be read by the children, or read to them depending on your child's reading stage.
Children will be coming home with their own reading passport. This will show the 20 books for your child to read by the end of their class year. Over the year, the children will have the opportunity to read these books at home, and then you can sign the passport when the books have been read at home. All of the books that are on the passport are available from each class reading area, though you may have some copies at home.
After a book has been read and signed by an adult, a stamp or a sticker will be added to the passport in class to show that that book has been read. Once your child has read all of their books for the year, they will receive a certificate, a prize and their name will go onto our school Wall of Fame display.
We hope that this will help to encourage the children of St Joseph's to develop their love of reading for pleasure, and to help them to find new authors, text types and books that will spark their interest.
Happy Reading!

Yesterday’s theatre workshop was AMAZING! The children were riveted the whole way through. We leaned about carbon, oxygen, carbon sinks and renewable energy. Even I learned a thing or two! Thank you so much to West End in School

This afternoon, our Commando Joe mission was to transport these injured animals to safety. We talked a lot about teamwork and empathy. You’ll be glad to know, all the animals survived and are now thriving in the classroom!

Commando Joe Mission
We’ve had our first mission with Commando Carl this morning. We had to work as a team to help Goldilocks cross the river. We had to use lily pads to help us cross so that we didn’t fall in the water!
