Looking at Pictures

A Volunteer from the National Art Gallery will be visiting the school on January 26th and will give both our classes a presentation called Looking at Pictures. Through a lucky chance, or great planning, our letter of the day is the letter P. There will be a new Art Gallery Centre in the classroom as a follow-up to her visit. It should be great!

Things are warming up!

Dear Parents and Children;

   The school is warm again and will be open tomorrow! See you then.    :  )

Urgent Message

Dear Parents;

   The school has had to be closed today because of problems with the heating system. Please let anyone know this who might not have heard. I will be phoning the afternoon class as I don' t have an email list for them at home. Stay tuned here for further updates. Thank you.                  Sarah

Using the same language

We are having a letter of the day this month. Today's letter is A, and the phrase for it is "A, apple, aa". If your child asks what the letter is or you want to review it, this is how we are talking about it in school. And tomorrow is "B, balloon, bb" then "C, cat, cc".

An Alphabet Song

Here's a link to one of the songs we'll be learning. There is a blue button at the bottom of the puzzle to start the song.  http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-songs-alphabet-popup.htm

Happy New Year!!!

 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday and a bit of a rest. We are beginning a new unit now on the Alphabet. Books and toys from home about ABCs are welcome for sharing time.  Please remember to label them with your child's name. Also a reminder that Mondays are Library Days and the children need their books and their book bags. Some children brought their indoor shoes home for the holidays and will need them as well. Thanks, and Happy 2011!!!
