Celebrations
We have been learning about different kinds of celebrations. Can you talk to your adult at home and find out which celebrations are important in your family and what you do when you celebrate eg: birthdays, Christmas, etc. You could draw a picture or find pictures of different celebrations. Please use your phonic knowledge to write a label for your pictures
READING BOOKS
Please read with your child and write a comment in the yellow reading diary. Please keep both reading books and yellow diary in your child’s bookbag after each reading.
Please note that if reading books have been lost, they will need to be replaced [/dropshadowbox]
