Attention Year 6 Families and Friends (and Famous People?) 

Would you like to become one of our VIP Readers? 

Once a month, we invite someone new into our classroom (either in person or virtually) as our VIP reader. This month we enjoyed a session with Hannah Gold, author of ‘Turtle Moon’, ‘The Last Bear’, ‘Finding Bear’ and ‘The Lost Whale’. Next month, it could be you! 

Our aim is for children to be exposed to different reading voices, different text choices and have the opportunity to find out more about other people’s reading experiences, preferences, recommendations and advice whilst also bringing a even more excitement and enjoyment into our reading time. 

All you need to do is choose an extract of your choice (this could be from your favourite childhood book, a recent news article, a poem, something original or something from the Bible!) and turn up on your selected date at 2.50pm. You will have the opportunity to spend 10-15 minutes sharing this extract with the class before allowing them 5 minutes to ask you some questions. This is a complete surprise to the children on the day as they love the reveal of who is behind the book! 

The dates still available for the rest of the year are listed below: if you, or someone you know (the more famous the better 😉 ) would be interesting in being a VIP reader for Year 6, please email me. 

Thanks, 

Mrs Hartwell
