Reading

At West Cliff, we want all children to develop a love of reading.

As reading is so important to us here at school, we want to provide all children with access to a range of high-quality texts in our classes, to take home and to enjoy outside.

We love reading!

This year we've enjoyed visits to the library and visits fro mthe library. We've listened to stories, explored the library with treasure hunts, found out about the Library app and talked about our favourite books. One of the best parts was checking out our own books to bring home. A massive thank you to Whitby Library for having us!

We love reading our books using Borrow Box.

An exciting visitor!

We were joined in school by author Jenny Pearson, who talked to us about all of her different books. We were also gifted a few copies of her books (which she also signed for us) for our own class libraries. What an amazing experience for us all!

Book Gifting

We were so lucky to be joined by the National Literacy Trust for some story telling. We listened to story blurbs, opening paragraphs, exciting chapters before we were allowed to choose our own book to take home with us. What a lovely gift - just in time for Christmas. A huge thank you to the Literacy Trust for our exciting books.

Maths + English = FUN!

We enjoyed a very special visit from author Kjartan Poskitt. Kjartan has written a series of 'Murderous Maths' books, as well as a KS1 favourite, 'The Runaway Pea'. The afternoon was filled with storytelling, magic tricks and mathematical puzzles. It was an amazing experience and we loved it. Year 6 even managed to get their Murderous Maths books signed!
