Response to Reading
As a class, we are reading and sharing responses to 'Secrets of a Sun King', by Emma Carroll. Many children are keen to follow the text when we are reading to the class. Children are welcome to bring this text into school; please don’t forget that we have a fabulous local library.
This narrative follows Lil in 1922 London, who finds a mysterious package from a dead Egyptologist containing the key to an ancient king's lost tomb, sparking a quest with friends Tulip and Oz to return it to its resting place and break a deadly pharaoh's curse, all while a parallel story unfolds from the perspective of Tutankhamun's friend in ancient Egypt.
BoomReader
All reading activity is recorded onto the digital reading record app BoomReader. It is a quick and easy way to track reading both at school and at home. 
Readers of the week
Every week we track and recognise the top six children that have added the largest number of entries onto BoomReader. Could it be your child this week? Please continue to listen to your child read and ask questions about the text.
