Notes / parent follow up: Have fun with your child by singing Old McDonald had a farm with them. Also ask them what are the various noises that the animals they have learned about make, such as a pig = oink oink. Help your child to revise for the spelling and pronunciation test on Friday. Sometimes the students will not pronounce the last letter of certain words or use an 's' to signify plurals. Please help them with this if possible. Thanks.
