Your child keeps all the books read with me each day in their reading bags. If your child reads more than one book a night (which is great as they become more fluent the more familiar the book is), please just sign the book brought home that day in their reading logs. If they are having the same book the next night as the level of difficulty is higher, you don't need to sign it in again.
Can you please ensure if your child is learning the ladder word cards, that you go through these words in different order each night.
Spelling
I tested the children on spelling today and am pleased to see the steady progress. I will highlight words known and tick the next 5 words to learn in the Essential Spelling lists in home books. In this way if you want to do spelling you will know the words they are learning at school.
What 's On
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be Jump Jam in the morning as usual.
Tuesday; Library at 2:15. Please ensure that the books come in a library bag for protection. Thanks.
Wednesday: A whanau Hui at 5:30 pm in the hall.
Friday: This will be a mufti day run by the Young Vinnies. Your child comes to school in home clothes and we ask for $1.00 donation. This will be going towards the Special Children's Christmas Party.
Golden Time will be traffic light jelly. Would you please bring something to sprinkle on top of their jelly, for example, hundreds and thousands or a few lollies. Thanks. I will supply jelly, cups and spoons.
Thanks to the parents who were able to come to the Junior Maths evening on Wednesday. I hope it was helpful. I have put on a clip below to help the children who know the plus and take away facts for 5 and so are moving onto the basic facts for 10. These are the addition facts. We will also be learning the subtraction facts with 10.
