Literacy
-Your child will have a word wall in their folder which will be introduced to them during reading this week (Tuesday/Thursday). This is a useful resource to help your child learn key words. Once your child is able to instantly recognise the word they can colour it in with a colouring pencil. You may wish to break it down and do one line at a time. Go with what is manageable for your child and keep the activity fun.
Here are some ideas:
- look for words beginning with certain sounds
- test your mum or dad
- write the words on a chalk board or using pencils/pens
- look for the words in your reading book/library book
- look for the words in your home (e.g. a cereal box)
- listen for the word in songs you know/hear
Challenge
Can you spell the word?
Can you use it in a sentence?

We have been learning some basic french greetings. Including hello, my name is… and goodbye. See if your child can remember how to say these.
Here is a link to a nice little song that your child has heard.
Finally I would like to say thank you for all your lovely Christmas cards and gifts. I am enjoying being back in school and seeing all the children in P1/2.
Thank you!
