Week 8
What another lovely week we had last week, it is great to see how settled
all the children are at school. There has been a lot of excitement about
the fairies garden. Several days the fairies visited overnight, the children
have become very interested in this we even have some wanting to make
furniture for the fairy garden.
Thank you to everyone who has their children in the correct school
uniform, please remember to name all of your child’s uniform. Also if you
have purchased shoes with laces please teach them how to tie the laces
independently, we have also started to work on this at school.
Twice a week your child will bring home a new reading book, these will stay
in their book bag until the following Monday, we ask that you get your child
to read these every night. Please let me know if your child is not wanting
to read at night and I can talk to them about it. This is how we are going
to get your child reaching their goals and moving up the reading rocket.
It is really important to reread these stories to encourage fluency in your
child’s reading and also allows them to develop a comprehension of stories.
This is just like when you would read a picture storybook several times and
your child can talk about what happens in the book, the characters etc.
We have noticed a lot of the children do not have fruit or vegetables that
they can eat at brain break, they are then getting very hungry before
morning tea at 11:05am. We suggested a range of foods in their lunch box
including fruit/vegetables as well as foods from the other food groups,
not just all packet food. Here are some amazing lunchbox ideas.
We go to the library on Fridays, please have your child’s library bags with
books back to school on Friday morning so your child can pick two new
stories to bring home and enjoy.
Thank you to everyone for having the reading packs sent home during
lockdown.
I hope you have had a lovely long weekend, and I look forward to seeing all
the children tomorrow.
