Easter Reading Challenge

Next term in F3 there will be a big focus on reading.  As we have mentioned in previous coffee mornings reading is the most important thing that you can do with your child. It is proven that the more children read at home or are being read to, the more likely they are to achieve great academic success in the future. 

To start promoting the importance of read for both enjoyment and learning we would like to set you and your children an Easter break reading challenge.  Please take a photograph or photographs of your child reading over the holidays. This could be them reading a BB book to you or you both sharing a story at bed time.  It could be a photograph of them reading a sign, food packet or restaurant menu.  Maybe they can spot words that they can sound out and blend in a magazine or newspaper or e-mail.  Where ever they see words ask them to have a go at reading! Once you have taken these photographs your challenge is to then upload these photographs onto your child’s tapestry account.  During the first week that the children are back at school we will share these photos with the class and the children will be awarded a great number of house points for their efforts in reading.  If you have any trouble with your tapestry account please e-mail Ms Hayley and she will do her best to sort out any problems. 

 

Happy Reading!

Weekly Update

ARC - Animal Rescue Center 

This week in F3 the children had a visit from Ms Koto and Mr Oliver from the ARC.  The children loved hearing about the great work that the ARC do and how animals should be looked after.  Next Tuesday Ms Koto will be coming back to visit EYFS and this time she will be bringing a dog for the children to meet.  They will be learning how to interact with dogs safely and calmly.  Ms Koto will also be joined by Dr Nghia the vet and his cat to learn more about how to keep animals healthy.  Look out for the photos.

EAL Coffee Morning 

This Wednesday the EAL teachers lead a wonderful coffee morning on how your child is supported in school learning English as a second or third language. Ms Jane, Ms Michelle and Mr Luke offered some great advice for things you can do at home.  Please see the school news letter for the full presentation.

Reading

Now that the F3 children are doing so well in phonics Mr John and Ms Hayley will be setting them reading challenges to do at home.  This will start the first week back after the holidays so please look out for the e-mail explaining the new incentive and the learning of red and green words.



Have a great weekend!
