Reading record – please can you remind your child to write in their reading records each week and bring it to school every Monday. They should be writing at least 3 entries per week.
Glue sticks – Please send one in for your child to use and label with their name.
Water bottles – Please ensure that your child brings a named water bottle to school with them each day so that they can hydrate regularly throughout the day.
Word Aware
Our topic this term is ‘World at War’. Please see the attached vocabulary list for this new topic. This list is part of an initiative called Word Aware that we are using in school. We thought it would be helpful to share this list so that you can use some of these words at home when discussing the topic. If your child speaks a different language at home it would be helpful to discuss and translate these words using your home language.

Handwriting
As you may be aware Belmont uses a cursive handwriting scheme for those children who can consistently form all non-cursive letters correctly.
Here is a link to the handwriting guidelines to enable you to support your children practicing letter formation at home.
