It has been wonderful to see the children back in school this week and to hear about their Christmas celebrations. There has been much talk about special time with family, food and of course presents too! I hope you all enjoyed the magic of the season and weren’t woken up too early on Christmas morning!
With the Christmas festivities many of our normal routines understandably take second place. Now that we are back in school, please can I encourage you to re-ignite regular reading habits. It really is essential if your children are to become fluent readers that they read regularly to an adult at home.
The school expectation is that all children read four times a week. This week 72% of our children achieved this target. It would be wonderful to see that number at 100%! Snuggling up on the sofa and hearing my children read was always a highlight of my day. I know life is busy but, especially on these cold wintery days, what a better way than to warm your heart than sharing a book with your child.
Have a lovely weekend.
