I can’t believe that a
whole year has passed since most of us began a journey together in your child’s
learning. It’s been a fantastic period of my teaching career. I am so proud of
what your children have achieved during this time. Everyone has worked very
hard to accomplish their personal best. I couldn’t have asked for more from
them. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the children and your families
over our time together.
I appreciate the
support I have received from you as parents. It has been most beneficial for
the children that we work together to achieve goals for them.
Summer holidays can be
long when children are bored, so I encourage you to make sure they have plenty
of books to read. Maybe a trip to the local library would be fun. Keep enjoying
Literacy Pro until it gets switched off.
I know that many of
you take special outings or even a holiday over the summer. It would be great
practice for the children to write about their experiences. Maybe they could
purchase a cheap exercise book that they can cover and decorate. I encourage
them to use complex sentences and lots of different types of figurative
language in their writing, remembering to provide all the details of the
experience. The children always re-read and edit their own writing.
They might like to
allocate the back of the exercise book to practice maths. Some ideas include
times tables, addition and subtraction with regrouping, drawing maps, time and
money challenges and fractions.
The children will
still have access to Studyladder if they would like to do some activities
online.
Holidays are always
filled with great memories so I wish you all a very special and safe holiday
period. I will miss you all very much and wish you all the best when the 2020
school year resumes.
