Welcome Back!
Well, I am sure you are all ready and raring to go after the 6 weeks break (can we really call it a summer!?) All the teachers have been working really hard over the holidays to make sure that the children's new classrooms and the area are prepared for the start of a new and exciting year.
For the first two weeks of school, there are lots of new routines to get used to, so we shall be following what is known as the 'Induction Process'. This may mean that your child comes home and says that they 'haven't done anything' today! Please be assured, that this is most definitely NOT the case! Lots of the information that we will be gathering over the next fortnight, will be through observations, discussions and assessments of your child. This time is invaluable for both us and your child, as we can ensure that the curriculum that we will be covering, will be tailored to match your child's needs exactly.
You should have received your child's Reading Diary at home today. As with last year, both in Foundation Stage and in Year 1, you will receive the targets that your child is currently working on, along with the high frequency words that they need to practice. These will be tested during the induction process and put in the diaries as soon as the testing has been completed. Remember many children will have 'relaxed' over the holidays, and may need to go back over a few that they may have forgotten - practice makes perfect!
We do love to read your comments in the diaries, so please do aim to comment in them at least 3 times per week. Reading books for home, will be changed on Tuesdays and Fridays, so it would be helpful if you could ensure they are sent into school, particularly on those days.
We have planned an Induction meeting for Year 1/2 parents on Wednesday 12th September at 3.15pm in Mrs Worrall's room, to discuss in more detail, what will be happening this year. It will also give you the opportunity to meet the staff and ask any questions that you may have.
Here's to a successful year!!
Year 1/2 team. x
