Home Learning
We would like to share
some positive ways in which you could help your child with literacy and
numeracy development.
Set aside a regular time
each night to read to your child. The bedtime story is a most valuable way to
ensure a healthy attitude towards reading. Make this time enjoyable and free
from tension.
Most nights your child
will bring home some reading in their book bag to share together. On Fridays
they will bring their poetry books home. Listen to your child read and help him
or her to point to the words. Encourage your child to gain sense from the
story. Resist jumping in and correcting mistakes but ask questions like- “Does
this make sense?” “What can you tell me about?”
The pictures are important
information about the story- please don’t cover them up. Your child needs those
vital clues. Encourage your child to point to the words, one by one with
his/her index finger as they read.
Praise your child’s efforts!
Encourage your child to
retell a story in their own words. Words are everywhere, when you go out and
about read signs and labels together.
We will be giving each
child a set of high frequency word cards- play fun games with these e.g. Let’s
see if we can find a word the same as this one, Memory, word snap, Can you
find… Can you write any of these words?
They will also be given a
set of number cards 1-20. Children can practise ordering them, first 1-10 and
when they can do this then 1-20. They will be learning about numbers that come
before and after a given number on the number line 1-20.
Rooms 1&2 visit our
school library on Fridays and Room 3s library visit is on Tuesdays. The
children will bring a school library book home; they will need to bring their
book back to school by the following library day. We will visit the Tawa Library once a term; you will need to return
these to the Tawa Library.
Meet the Teacher- Rooms 1& 2 Parents meet your Teachers before
the picnic Tea, at 4.30 in Room 2 then gather on the field and bring your
dinner/ Fish and Chips -5pm Thursday 4th
We aim to provide a happy,
secure, caring environment with each child actively involved in the learning
process.
Gods Blessings Marie Andrewartha, Faencha Nicholls, Naomi
Johnson.
