Dear Room 4 Parents,
Welcome to 2016. We have had a great first week back at
school, spending a lot of time getting to know each other to build the
foundations of a great classroom environment.
Homework 2016
Reading – at least 10 minutes each night. This may include
reading books your child brings home from school, a library book or other books
at home. Please note that children will not bring books home every night – they
will bring them home when they have finished reading them in the classroom.
Mathematics – Completing weekly challenges – these will be given
out on Mondays and checked on Fridays.
Notebooks
The notebook in your child’s reading folder is for
home-to-school communication. Please write any important messages in these. I
will also use them to keep track of the school books that your child brings
home – please sign beside these so that I know if your child has read the book
again.
Reading Rockets
Your child has been given a Reading Rocket so that you know
what they are learning to do in the classroom. Children reading up to the
‘Green Level’ have a corresponding word list which they can practice to read as
part of their reading homework. Children will be rewarded when they can read
every word on their list. These Reading Rockets and word lists need to stay in their reading folders so they
can be used in the classroom and changed as they move up the levels.
Star of the Day
I will be
choosing a ‘Star of the Day’ each day, who gets to take home the class toy for
the evening. The toy will come with a writing book for the children to write a
few sentences about the activities that they did with the toy – it would be
great if you could please help your children with this. Students will have a
chance to share this writing with the whole class, and they will also have
special privileges for the day.
Please send hats and swimming togs to school every day
this Term. Your children will have to sit in the shade at lunchtime if they do
not have a hat. We will be making the most of the Mayfield Pool, going swimming
as much as possible as the weather permits.
Kind regards,
looks like you had a great first week back
