Year 5 - Guided Reading

Date: 11th Sep 2025 @ 4:12pm

This week, Year 5 have been exploring a news report about the potential ban of energy drinks for under-16s. The children engaged in thoughtful discussions around the topic and examined key vocabulary from the text, including excessive, fluctuation, signalling, ban, and voluntarily.

To deepen their understanding, pupils answered comprehension questions, developing their ability to retrieve information and interpret meaning. They also worked in groups to perform sections of the news report in front of the class, building their confidence in public speaking and teamwork.

It has been a fantastic opportunity for the children to develop both their reading skills and their awareness of current health-related issues.
