Welcome back everyone after a lovely long weekend. It was great to hear that so many of you did exciting things. Wow - we certainly hit the ground running today. We started our full writing programme in earnest, with EVERYONE writing something about themselves. We'll be drawing some self portraits over the next few days and these pieces of writing will accompany them. Keep a lookout for those. We also started instructional reading groups - I was so impressed with how quickly everyone picked up the idea of the 'pointing finger'. We need to make sure we point to every word as we read our story, to help make the connection between the written and spoken word.
