Welcome back to Term 2

So far this term the ESOL team have been busy testing all the children that attend ESOL lessons. We have checked on their reading and writing vocabulary, listening, speaking, and writing. Week 3 has been busy as we meet up with parents to discuss the results of the testing. It has been great to meet some new parents, as well as catching up with the parents we already know. If you have missed your interview, please contact us to reschedule as we would like to talk through your child's testing with you.
ESOL lessons will begin again in week 4. This term our writing and topic groups will be learning about water. This will include some walks around our community to visit local water sources. Reading groups will continue from last term. If your child is not bringing home a reading book regularly, please see us or the classroom teacher. Children should be reading at home every night to ensure they make progress.
Please remember to contact me at kirsten.aaron@ilam.school.nz if you have a problem you wish to discuss. I am looking forward to another great learning term with your support!
