Exciting news for home reading!
To support your child with reading at home, we have subscribed to the Oxford Owl eBook Library giving access to more than 500 ebooks for use across the age range from Reception to Year 6.
Over the next week or so, your child’s teacher will be in touch with details of how to log in to the library and what your child will be expected to do to ensure that they continue to develop their reading skills whilst learning at home.
Please see the leaflet for more information. If you have any further questions, please contact the class teacher in the usual way.

What have Totland class been doing so far?
As part of their rainforest geography topic and science curriculum, Year 5 and 6 visited Marwell Zoo last week. They collected information and photographs for their classification investigation and art project. The children had an amazing day.
Year 5 and 6 have been learning about different biomes in geography. Following our trips to the Tropical House at Marwell Zoo and Parkhurst Forest, the children have created biomes for the rainforest and deciduous forest. They have labelled their creations and written facts about each biome.
The children learnt how rainforests can be farmed more sustainably and what other alternatives to palm exist. They also sorted foods based on their country of origin and discussed the different growing conditions that each food type needs.
