Year 6 have started to take their role as the 'school elders' quite seriously, and have begun to support the younger years in KS1 with their reading.
Every Friday morning Year 6 classrooms empty as children go off to their allocated classrooms in KS1 and find their reading partners. Half an hour of reading follows, whether that is a younger child reading to their Y6 partner or the other way around. Last week some of 2M decided to read stories they had written to the Year 6 children.
Everyone is really enjoying these sessions and it is wonderful to see children all over the school enjoying reading a book.
Of course, it also helps children on the playground, if they are feeling a little sad and would like some company they now know some of the older children.
