Dear
Parents & Caregivers,
The
July school holidays are just around the corner and it will be important that
your child continues to practise his/her English daily. A great way to do this
is to have your child participate in activities that allows your child to speak
English with other children. A ‘play date’ with an English speaking friend is
always a good idea. Also, Parnell Trust runs a holiday programme right here at
school. More information can be found on this website: http://www.parnell.org.nz/July2015holidays.htm
There
are a range of other holiday activities on offer throughout Auckland. For
example, the Auckland City Council have a variety of events taking place in
many different locations.

Please encourage your child to write regularly to build up their interest and enjoyment. It doesn’t matter if they are writing on the computer, in a book, or on a whiteboard. Below are 2 websites that may help to motivate your child to write, both are interactive and easy to use.
Don’t
forget to also have your child keep up with their reading by accessing the
Sunshine Online website - www.sunshineonline.com.au Username: parnellesol Password:

Lastly,
for the very young children in our school we have attached an alphabet booklet.
This will help your child to practise their handwriting as they continue to
learn the name of the letter and the sound each letter makes. A good website to
reinforce this is: www.starfall.com
Please
feel free to keep in touch with us regarding your child’s progress in English.
