Today we began to work in our literacy groups. Our aim is to eventually work independently, this will take some work but we will get there. The children have new literacy groups and today I have been practicing reading with some of the groups from their new reading books on bug club. If you have any issues with accessing bug club from home please contact me and I will make appropriate arrangements for your child.

Our literacy groups are:

Book Bandits – who are reading Bug Boy: Beetle Cookies

Page Pirates – who are reading Herb the Spinning Hamster

Word Wizards – who are reading Yak’s Pants

Sound Stars – who are reading It’s a Din!

We are practicing the sounds ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ in class this week and we have some spelling words to go along with this. We will practice these in class this week and begin to send spelling words home for homework next week.

Could I please ask that all snacks for playtime are placed into school bags and not lunch bags. As we are now using the lunch hall we are separated from our lunch bags first thing in the morning so it is easier if snacks are in school bags. Thank you!

I have not sent yellow diaries home today as it became apparent yesterday that I do not have all of the diaries from last year. I will rectify this soon and begin to issue these properly.
