Welcome back
1. As always Monday is the day to share - props from the hols are welcome. Again, for less confident children please help their confidence by discussing what they plan to share in advance.2. On February 25th, we are going to set up a “shopping” experience here at school, children “buy” the items for their Happy Lodge shoe boxes. If you are free between 10-12 or 12-2 to help the grade shop then we'd be happy to have you join us - drop me an email in advance please. ( Our class will be shopping at 10.10 but help across the Grade would be appreciated).
3. I look forward to seeing you all on Friday throughout the day. Please be on time as stations are limited. Skipping specialist classes sends a poor message to your child. (See letter for details: Follow the signs to Music and PE either before or after your class slot). For those who are new, these are not parent teacher conferences but it is an insight in to school life; your child will be proudly leading the day.
4. If you plan to do a Kids Up Front we need to sort out dates soon, please.
5. The class will start writing their own INFORMATION Books from a chosen familiar topic. Some discussion at home around this would set them up nicely.
Parent Corner :
I highly recommend this book for those raising boys. Raising Cain Dr Michael Thompson This simple article from the Washington Post prompted me to remember it.
Dr Thompson spoke at SAS and I found it on Youtube:

I recently found out about this great KIDS Harriers club and thought some of you may be interested in it.... www.hashhousehorrors.com
