What is the value of learning certain things at school? Even if you don’t enjoy them they are important for a reason. For example, you have to learn sounds which are boring…….but then you can learn to read which is amazing. Or, if you have a daily chore at home, for example, taking out the rubbish every day, the value of doing this is that you help your family to live in a clean, healthy house. Discuss this with your child and write a few notes about your discussion. Let him/her draw a picture. 8. PT tomorrow. **Read newsletter on the last Wednesday of every month. This is on the school website. You can request a hardcopy at Reception from Nellie.
