Wow! Here we are at the end of another busy week.

Thank you to those families who returned their interview sheet with time preferences promptly. You will receive confirmation of your interview time this week.

All Receptions came into the building on Friday morning by themselves for the very first time. Well done everyone! You all managed to remember to do your morning jobs and get yourselves organised for a busy day of learning. We will hold another Independence Day in a fortnight.

On Friday morning I checked sight words. If your child has a word that has been highlighted, it means they need a bit more practice with that word. If your child has a new list of words you can go ahead and make up a new memory game for the new list if you wish. Don’t forget to go back and revisit the previous list throughout the week.

Your child has their very first reader in their blue reader bag. I hope you found it! We have all read the book we have chosen at school and are all excited to be bringing home a book that we know how to read.

Please spend time enjoying this book together.

  • Look at the cover together. Discuss the title and what you think the book may be about.
  • Take time to look at each picture before you begin to read.
  • Make sure your child points to the words when reading. Ask your child to tell you about Wilber. Who is he and what does he do?

Once finished please remember to initial the appropriate column in the communication book. There is no need to write the title of the book or the date, these things have already been done for you.

Please remind your child to put the reader back into the reader bag and bring it to school each day. We will be using these books as part of our daily reading programme.

If you have any questions about readers, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I’d like to thank all of the people who attended the recent reading workshop. It would be useful to receive feedback via an email, let us know if you found it useful, if you need more information and so on. This will assist us when planning further workshops.

That’s right! We have made it halfway. The second half of the term promises to be just as busy as the first. 😉
