Well, half term is coming to a close. Children up and down the country have hopefully had an enjoyable week of activities. We've been very busy here, as we continue to teach throughout the holidays. No school means the majority of the children come during the day but I have said goodbye to the last class of the week. Only an afternoon meeting to go and then I get to enjoy my weekend. I'm looking forward to watching our Men's Curling team take on the Canadians in the Olympic final! Good luck Team GB.
We have had a wonderful sock monkey mascot made for us by the lovely Emma. A photo of him reading a book in our book corner is above. We've been trying to come up with a name for him. Any suggestions?
Reading to a sibling or a teddy bear (or other soft toy) is a great way to get children reading more. The toy option works particularly well if a child is concerned about making a mistake, as our cuddly friends are very forgiving. Even as children get older they still benefit from being read to, so as half term is ending take the time to snuggle up together with a book. Happy reading!
