 * 5. READING EGGS:**

PARENTS:
Please make sure your child reads a story to you every night, even if it's from a book you have at home. Ask them the following questions: "What did you write about today?" "What did you learn in maths?" //[We're counting in 10s and 1s to and from 100]// "What did you do at lunchtime?" Don't forget, if you wish to see me about anything, I am usually available from 8.30 - 9am and you could make an appointment to see me Thursdays, 3-6pm.
