As we are half way through the year its timely to remind families about home learning. Research
has shown that learning conversations between parents and children
reinforces school learning. That’s
why our teachers send you a link each week to the learning intentions on
the Teaching and Learning site.
These are the main learning intentions for the week and the link allows
you to open a conversation with your child about what they are learning. Each time they reconsider
it, it deepens the connection and embeds the learning. Repetition makes it stick.
Class teachers also send you a link to
the class blog – this gives you an idea of what has been done in class and
again offers the opportunity for a learning conversation.

Literacy
Learning Difficulties
For any families who have children
diagnosed with dyslexia or suspected dyslexia, I have a program that may be
able to help. We did this a few years
ago and the children on the program made big steps forwards with their
reading. This will be on Monday 31st July at 3pm in
the staffroom for about 30 minutes and you can bring your child.
