LITERACY

Through a shared reading of this classic tale about a family of beautiful owls, the children will learn to recall and retell a story by creating a class story map. They will learn to use vocabulary such as ‘First, Then, Next, Last’ or ‘At the end’, learning actions to help them recall the meaning of these words. They will also learn where to locate information about a book such as the title and author of a book

Thank you for coming to our introductory meeting last week. It was wonderful to see so many of you there.

Please don’t forget to come to our Phonics workshop for parents on Wednesday 3rd October. You can choose to attend either of the two sessions: 9.00-10.30 or 2.00-3.30. This workshop will focus on how your child will learn to read and form letters and how you can support your child with reading at home.

Please help your child settle into their school routine by being prompt in the morning and at collection time. Please be reminded that school starts at 8.50am and finishes at 3.30pm.

Also, we would appreciate if you could please ensure that your child brings a named bottle of water (plain water only) into school every day.

They will have opportunities to talk about their own feelings and experiences of their first days at school, making connections between the main character (Harry) and themselves.
