Please watch out for letters sent home connected to field trips.

Classroom objects,
Days of the week, months of the year, (prepositions connected to this eg in September, on Monday)

Body parts
Maths

Reading
Please remember to read with your child each evening, checking pronounciation and especially understanding of what they have read. Please continue to give plenty of encouragement and be enthusiastic about your child's progress.
The children are I feel settled now into the routine of the day and feeling more comfortable in the EAL classroom and with one another. They spend time with their classmates each day when they join them for PE and Art and in some cases play with them during the breaks.
Please remember to contact me should you have any concerns about your child's welfare or progress and I will do what I can to assist.
