Reading
We love reading in Paddington class and would love for you to help support us in our reading journey! Each child will be sent home with a reading book every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in their reading packet. This will be a book they will be able to read independently using their assessed phonics knowledge. We will change the books when they have been read so please remember to write in their reading record to ensure their books are changed. Each child will also choose a picture book they can share with an adult from our class library every day for you to read to them and encourage their joy of reading. Once they return that book they can then choose another.
Water bottles and snacks
Please make sure your child has a named water bottle in school every day. We will send them home each day to be washed and refilled. Children will all be provided with fruit at snack time, however if you wish you can provide them with a healthy snack from home.
Home learning
We will send home additional learning on Fridays to help children consolidate their learning. As always we appreciate your support!
If you ever have any queries please feel free to speak to me at the door, over the phone or drop me an email. I will be happy to help in any way I can.
I look forward to getting to know all children and their families throughout the year.
Why are we called Paddington?
Paddington shows bravery and positivity when he leaves his home in deepest, darkest Peru- even when things don't go the way he planned! Paddington's courage, resilience and good manners are inspiring to us in our learning. Even when things get tricky, with a little bravery, positivity and support from loved ones, we can find our way through!
