This year Lancashire’s Libraries are inviting children to get silly for the Summer Reading Challenge. The Summer Reading Challenge will take place online, with the special www.sillysquad.org.uk website! The Challenge website will be free to access and a place for you to rate and review books and work towards your reading goal. It will also feature video content, games, quizzes, and digital and downloadable activities to complete at home. The Library service will also be providing loads of fun free things to do including book quizzes, a reading group, and an online Lego club!
The theme of the Challenge for this year is Silly Squad, and we want to celebrate funny and silly stories all summer long! From David Walliams to Roald Dahl, and Jacqueline Wilson to Jeff Kinney, there are thousands of hilarious books for you to read, and we can’t wait to hear about them!
The Summer Reading Challenge Silly Squad website is now live for you to sign up on, and we in Lancashire will be launching the challenge on Saturday 27th June, so keep an eye on our social media and website for more information!

It is essential that everyone washes their hands more often, using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Hand washing with soap employs mechanical action that loosens bacteria and viruses from the skin, rinsing them into the drain. Drying hands afterwards makes the skin less hospitable to the virus. Hand sanitiser can be effective if soap is not available or the situation makes using soap less feasible (i.e. when outside) but using hand sanitiser provides none of the virus-destroying friction that rubbing your hands together and rinsing with water provides.
This year we are all forgiveness value detectives in Year 1.
If we forgive someone, someone forgives us or we see forgiveness in action then we can write it in our class values detective book.
How many acts of forgiveness can we spot this year?
Please encourage your child to read everyday.
In year 1 we will be trying to help the children to improve their reading this year, developing their phonics so that they become confident, independent readers.
We follow the read write inc. phonics in school. Please find the link below to the read write inc. website. Here you can watch clips that explain phonics, the phonics screening test in Year 1 and top tips for reading with your child.
