Comments Off on Christmas reading
It’s that time of the year again. The temperature is dropping, the nights are getting earlier and the snow can’t be far away. What a great excuse to curl up at home and share a great book. Here are a few of our favourite Christmas books to ask Santa for this year or visit your local library.
Or why not try a just released book as you new Christmas tradition.

This week’s whole school homework will be coming home today in homework folders. The focus this week is on P2’s Successes and Achievements both at school and home. We will need help from family members to list recent achievements from this school year.
Please continue to read at home every day, either your class storybook or something of your choosing. To help with reading at home, we have also included a Reading Challenge sheet that should be completed throughout the remainder of the school term.
