There can be nothing more important than learning God's Word. The Bible is very clear on that...
Deuteronomy 11:18-21 The Message (MSG) 18-21 Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you’ll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth. I encourage you to spend time with your son/daughter to help them learn and say this term's Scripture verse. This should be completed and recited to the class teacher BEFORE the end of week 8. Your child's Scripture verse can be found on the inside of their Spelling notebook or on our class page. If you are having difficulty with this please come and see me. Many thanks, Francesca Crossley This week - Week 3 - we have Hockey Development on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The children should come to school wearing their PE uniform and can stay in that ALL day.
Have a great week! Francesca , Next week Rooms 3 & 4 will be starting their Class Reading programmes. Your child will come home with a book and a reading log Monday - Wednesday. On Thursdays they will be asked to select a book of their choice to take home. Research has shown that there is a direct correlation between reading at home and school and the impact this has on a child's levels of achievement. "Reading and storytelling with your child promotes brain development and imagination, teaches your child about language and emotions, and strengthens your relationship". www.Raising children.net.au The impact of reading 20 mins each day. It may feel hard to find 20 minutes each day to read with your child, but the cost of not doing this is far too great. Children who read for just 20 minutes per day see 1.8 million words each year and have scores on standardised tests in the 90th percentile (because they have experienced so many words!). Compare this with the child who is reading for just 1 minute per day, they only see 8000 words each year and have scores in the 10th percentile on standardised tests. A small amount of reading each day makes an incredible difference! (Nagy and Herman, 1987) We would ask that you set aside 15- 20 minutes each night to actively listen to your child read. Once you have heard your child read we would ask that you talk about what he/she has read, even ask them to retell the story to you, or ask them questions about what they have read. The Reading Log needs to be signed by a parent/Grandparent and returned to school each day along with the reading book and spelling notebook. Please help us to help your child succeed. We work best when we work together. As the old saying goes...... 'It takes a village to raise a child'. On Monday 17th February - that's Monday coming - we will be having Cricket coaching in school. ALL children in Room 3 should come to school wearing P.E. uniform - this includes suitable gym shoes. Please also ensure that you put sunblock on your child or send them to school with some.
Many thanks. |
