Welcome back to another term of learning!
I hope you have had a lovely break with your children, as I have, and that they are now ready to get back into the routine of school, as mine are ;)

On our first day back we will be talking about and planning a recount of our favourite part of our holiday.

Writing



My example

The Splash!

In the holidays I went to Rainbow Fairy Springs with my mum, dad and sister.

First we went for a walk around. I saw lots of trout fish in the trout pools. 

Next we went to watch the bird show. It was funny. I liked it when the parrot did a flip.

Then we went on the splash ride. On the way around I saw a dinosaur and it gave me a huge fright.

At the end we went down the splash. It was awesome! 

Last we had a play on the playground. I loved going on the flying fox.

It was a great day. I hope we go there again.

Maths
As well as basic facts practice, this week I will be checking to see if the children can count forwards and backwards in 2's to 20 (then to 100).

Reading
Your child will bring home a reader (book) every night in their book bag. Most times the reader will have been seen by your child at school, but not always. 
If it is too tricky, or they are not familiar with it, read it to them, discuss it's meaning and the pictures and spend some time just talking about what they think of the story. 

Some friendly reminders
School starts at 8.45am
Please make sure your child is at school at around 8.30am, as this gives them time to have a chat with their friends and settle in before prayer time. 

Uniform
The children are to be in winter uniform and shoes this term. The school takes pride in how lovely the children look in their correct school uniform.

Blog
Try and check the blog a few times a week so that you know what is happening at school.

Parent help
If you have any spare time this term and would like to be a parent helper in Room 9, we could use your help putting books away or listening to children read. Let me know if you can help. 

I will see your beautiful children tomorrow!

Have a wonderful week.
