We wish you a very happy Christmas Holiday and a Happy New Year!

Monday	Mrs Fenton will be teaching with Mrs Mac on a Monday
Tuesday	PE in the afternoon  Reading Books returned from previous week please.
Wednesday	Reading Practice book home (this will initially be a wordless book until sounds are taught - there are some question ideas to ask inside the back cover. (PLEASE REMEMBER TO SIGN WHEN READ AT HOME & KEEP IN BOOK BAGS)  This book has been carefully matched to your child’s current reading level. If your child is reading it with little help, please don’t worry that it’s too easy – your child needs to develop fluency and confidence in reading.
Thursday	Show and Tell- the children may bring something from home to share with rest of the class Little Wandle Book home (this will have been read in school with your children, and you can spend some more time with the book at home). Please use the supporting worksheet at home to practice the work they have done in school. Please return Tuesday/ Wednesday of the following week. LIBRARY - will be run by our Year 2 Library leaders In order to encourage your child to become a lifelong reader, it is important that they learn to read for pleasure. The sharing book is a book they have chosen for you to enjoy together. Read it to or with them. Discuss the pictures, enjoy the story, predict what might happen next, use different voices for the characters, explore the facts in a non-fiction book. The main thing is that you have fun!
Friday	(Celebration Assembly with visiting clergy) This week we will be holding our service in Lacey Green church with Reverend Tony. Year R will make the Nativity tableau.
