Supporting learning at home email

I spoke with a parent in the beginning of the year addressing my concerns for her child.  We talked about the simple things she could do at home to help her child.
I also emailed her some ways in which to support her leaning at home.

Hi Megan,

Here are a few ideas to support Edyn at home:

Jolly Phonics Song: Little song,Sounds with actions

Phonic Song to listen to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BELlZKpi1Zs

Use the yellow word card that's been sent home:

Questions like:

What's this letter?
What sound does it make?

What words start with?  (And make the sound for the letter at the beginning of each word)

Play games like:
Alphabet matching (Print out a simple set of Alphabet upper and lower case cards). Have to match the upper case to the lower case.

That's a start to get you going. When you feel shes tired of doing those things we can revisit some new ideas.

Kind regards

School Visit's Email

 As each child came into Rm 5 I would ring or email parents to make contact. Below are some  examples.

Hi Anglea,

Thanks for taking my call. Ellie is going to be in Rm 5 with a class of other new entrants who have not long started or those about to start.

Her visits will be on a Tuesday from 8:45am until 11am.

Tuesday 28th February
Tuesday 7th March
Tuesday 14th March

with a start date of Monday 20th February.

Ellie can come in her own clothes and will need to bring morning tea to each visit as she will be with us for morning tea.

I will have a new entrant pack ready for you on Tuesday giving you more information about school, how the school day runs etc.

If there is anything you wish to discuss please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Victoria Lindley

Hi Megan & Chris,

I thought I would send a quick e-mail saying Hello and a belated Happy New Year!

Hopefully the new entrant pack I sent home with Blake  last year made it to you.

This should have lots of information regarding Edyn starting school.
Edyn will need her stationery ready when the school year begins.

Should you have any issues or things you would like to discuss before school begins please don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail. Otherwise I look forward to seeing you on the 1^st Feb.

Nga mihi,

Victoria Lindley
