Reading is the key to all learning read as much and as often as possible with and to your child, including stories in your home language.

Please read the weekly Learning Letter with your child.

Make sure the child knows who is collecting them. Teachers must be informed if children are being collected by anyone other than their usual person. That person must have the identity card.
