Happy New Year and Thankyou!!
02 Jan 2013
Firstly -wishing lots of good things for you all in 2013! I hope you all had a great christmas!
I have lots of thankyous!Thankyou for all the lovely cards and prezzies Miss Bryan and I received last term-so lovely of you-we were really spoilt! Thankyou again to all parents and teaching assistants who came with year 2 on our theatre trip. It really was such fun and that was down to your help! A huge thankyou too to the time you have spent on the'Story writing projects'. I am in the middle of marking them and have been overwhelmed by the quality of the finished stories and the planning .I know it has been pretty hard work for some, but it has really paid off and I hope will now be a springboard to their further story writing in school. What a difference adjectives,interesting(wow) words, a punchy opening,speech and a range of punctuation makes. For many children this is the best piece of writing they have produced and will give them confidence and inspiration to progress even further with their stories!
Thankyou again. We won't spring another project on you before you have helped your child with their presentations(taking place in 3rd week back-will put up list of dates for you to sign your child up for soon) but soon after the presentations have been completed we will be giving out another writing project to complete. As you may know writing is a focus for the whole school at the moment anything you can reinforce at home will make such difference to your child's progress. Thankyou again to all of you!
