Good Afternoon,
Reading books have been issued to your child today. Children are encouraged to read for a minimum of 10 minutes a night. When reading with your child please use the 3 P’s – Pause, Prompt and Praise if they are unable to read a word. Another strategy you could use is the Three Sharings: 1. What are your likes/dislikes about the book? 2. What are your puzzles/questions about the book? 3. Can you find any connections in the book? Does it remind you of anything in your life or a book or film/TV you have seen?
Please could children bring their books into school every day. Reading books should be handed back on Wednesday 15th September.

There are only a few simple rules –
all children must wear a helmet on a bike
bikes and scooters should be wheeled through the playground on the way in and out of school and on the ashy path.
Parents and younger siblings are welcome to join in the challenge.
Every child will get the chance to cycle or scoot with their friends in the playground during the day.
We would ask that you check over bikes and scooters to make sure they are safe to use, especially if they haven’t been used for a while.
Please don’t worry if your child is unable to bring their bike or scooter on any of their days. Walking counts too!
We are all looking forward to the Big Pedal. It should be lots of fun.
