It was great to meet so many parents at the Year 1 shared breakfast last Thursday. The choice and amount of food that the children brought was vast! I felt very lucky that the teachers had invited me along to share in the end of term celebration. Some of you mentioned the fact that your children are sometimes not keen to speak in their own language once they start school. It is really important that you foster your child's use and understanding of their own language and culture - if children are competent in their home language they are much more likely to become competent and confident in English. School holidays are a great opportunity for you to share conversation and stories, so I hope you have some time to do this. Enjoy the school holidays and keep warm!
