Term 2 Week 8

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 look forward to seeing all the children tomorrow.
