July school holidays parent letter

4th July, 2014

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. Choose from four exciting options: Club House, Adventure Seekers, Multi-Sport and LEGO Mindstorms.  More information can be found on this website: www.parnell.org.nz or phone 555 5194

There are a range of holiday activities on offer throughout Auckland. For example, the Auckland City Council have a range of events taking place in many different locations including the zoo, the Museum, Stardome, MOTAT, Wynyard Quarter and more. You can find out more information on their website: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/newseventsculture/events/Events/Pages/1winterschoolholidays.aspx

As always there is also a wide range of valuable websites that offer your child extra practise in English. Here are a few I would like to remind you about:

Username: parnellesol           Password: room31




Lastly, for some of our younger children I 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.

Please feel free to keep in touch with me regarding your child’s progress in English. My email address is: annah@parnell.school.nz

Sincerely,


Anna Hedstrom
