Sit back and relax and listen to Senan

reading another excerpt from

Jenny Nimmo’s ‘The Snow Spider’.

Well done Senan.

You read very well indeed and with excellent expression.

Isabella reads from ‘The Snow Spider’

Well done to Isabella who read for us in class today.

She had prepared this page well for homework.

Teacher particularly liked

the expression Isabella put in her voice

when she was pretending to be Gywn’s Mum.

When Isabella finished reading this in class,

the class gave her a round of applause,

which was well deserved.

A short coaching session from Adam

Fiona reads about Nain gardening at midnight from ‘The Snow Spider’ by Jenny Nimmo

Today Fiona read to us about Gywn’s Granny gardening

in the dark on a Winter’s night!
We think you will agree,

that Fiona did a REALLY GOOD job.

She read SO well

and used very effective expression.

Fiona told us she read it twice for her Granny

and three times for her Mum last night,

Then this morning she read it twice again.

All in all she practiced reading it aloud seven times

and all this preparation really paid off.

 

Well done Fiona.

You are an independent reader now.

Nicole reads from ‘The Snow Spider’.

Today it was Nicole’s turn to prepare

a page of reading from ‘The Snow Spider’.

As you will hear Nicole read very well.

In what she read to us,

we learned a little more about a mystery;

How Gywn’s older sister Bethan had disappeared

in the middle of a storm one night.

Podcast: Julia reads the first page of Jenny Nimmo’s ‘The Snow Spider’

We have started reading ‘The Snow Spider’ by Jenny Nimmo.

It is a challenging read, but a great story.

Last night we were asked to practice reading the very first page,

with expression.

Julia volunteered  to read it out loud on Audioboo.

Here is the podcast:

 

We think the talented Julia has the potential

be a famous actress.

 

We have many other volunteers to read so

during the term, we will be posting more podcasts

of excerpts from this exciting and magical book.

 

Some of the children have started watching 

The Snow Spider – Part One ITV (1988)

and they tell me that this is helping

their understanding

and enjoyment of the book.
