Reading Celebration 2025

A group of Year 4 children represented Milby Primary in the Warwickshire Schools Library Service Reading Challenge. The children had a number of tasks to perform! Firstly, they were given the opportunity to perform their creative response to 'Monster Slayer,' a book we have really enjoyed as part of our English lesson. After that, they took part in a quiz! The children performed exceptionally well, were great athe the quiz and they walked away with the winning trophy, medals and a goody bag including a selection of books! A great morning!

World Book Day 2025

What a blast we had celebrating World Book Day 2025! The children looked absolutely amazing in their costumes, and they were able to talk about their characters from their favourite books. We joined a live quiz called Footy and Booky, which involved 2 rounds of a quiz linked to football and books. All the children got involved and we scored really well! We also created our own reading doodles, and sketched out all our thoughts and feelings about reading.

Design Technology - Market Research

This half term, our DT focus is shell structures.  We looked at a range of existing product packages and looked carefully at the function of these packages, their features and what we liked and disliked about them.  This will help us to decide the features that we want when we begin to plan and make our own structures.

Home learning

Homework is set on a Friday, and is due in the following Thursday - their new spellings will be written at the front of their link book weekly.  Children should be reading to an adult at least three times per week for at least 15/20 minutes each time.  This must be recorded in your child's reading record.

In addition to this, the children can develop their skills with a range of websites and apps the school has subscribed to.  To support our pupils with their learning at home, all children have been given individual logins for EdShed, Times Table Rock Stars and Bug Club.  These logins have been glued into their link books.  The links for these sites, along with some links for other useful web resources, have been included below for your convenience.
