Bug Club Online

Hello Reception,

To continue with supporting reading at home as best we can, school has recently invested in a new online reading system called ‘Bug Club’. Your child will be familiar with some of these resources already as we have Bug Club reading books we use in school and also use some of their online resources in our phonics sessions.

We are now able to offer out individual logins to Bug Club online for you to access at home. This will include a whole bank of online reading books that you can access at home! We are able to set books specifically for your child’s reading level, just as we would when we send real books home for you to read in the week! These books will be matched to the phonics that your child will be learning at school and also include fun activities or quizzes that will help develop your child’s understanding of what they have read.

We have stuck your child’s individual log in for their Bug Club membership in their reading diaries today so you can start using straight away! Attached is a letter with details and instructions of how to log on and start using the website. We will continue to send home a hard copy of a reading book each week as we really do value real life books and promote a love of reading! However, as we are limited at the moment in being able to exchange books as regularly as we would normally, these colourful, decodable books will help your child keep reading a minimum of 3x a week with you and ensure they stay on track.

We hope you will find these fun and exciting! Any questions, please do ask. Have fun reading together.

Thank you for your support.

The Reception Team.

Y4 Virtual Diaries

As we have slowly been making our homework more virtual, we are going to re-introduce our virtual reading dairies on Google Classroom. Due to reducing the amount of contact with diaries from home, using the virtual diary will be great as it means children/parents can type in it daily and it can also be checked daily at school by a member of the Year 4 team. We have noticed that reading has trailed off with some children therefore we would like to go back to checking reading daily. As we are only just re-introducing this, if you would temporarily prefer to record in your child’s dairy, that is fine, however it will still need to only come into school on a Friday and will be returned on a Monday.

Please ensure that your child is reading regularly at home and is filling in their diary. Below is a reminder of online e-books your child has access to:

Bug Club

Fiction Express

Oxford Owl

Please note that spelling tests will still be completed on a Friday in reading diaries.

Many thanks

Y4
