How parents and families can help their children do better at school










Read together

Children who read at home with their parents perform better in school. Show your children how much you value reading by keeping good books, magazine, and newspapers in the house. Let them see you read. Take them on trips to the library and encourage them to get library cards. Let children read to you, and talk about the books. What was the book about? Why did a character act that way? What will he or she do next?

Look for other ways to teach children the magic of language, words, and stories. Tell stories to your children about their families and their culture. Point out words to children wherever you go whether it's to the supermarket, the pharmacy or to the petrol station. Encourage your children to write notes to grandparents and other relatives.
Children love a bedtime story. Make it as interesting and funny as you can. I've never heard of a child refusing a story at bedtime.

Hello everyone.
It's nearly time to say welcome back to school. I hope you have had a good break and are ready to start the new school year.

March 1st, St David's Day.

Celebrated in Wales in honour of Dewi Sant or St David, the patron saint of Wales. Many Welsh people wear a daffodil which is a national emblem of Wales.





John Perry Primary has two teachers that are from the 'Land of Song', Wales.

Do you know who they are?

February

February, along with January, was introduced onto the Roman calendar by Numa Pompilous when the calendar was extended from ten to twelve. The word February comes from the word ' Februa' which means cleansing or purification, and reflects the rituals taken before spring.

In Shakespeare's time about 400 years ago, the second month of the year was called 'Feverell'. In Isaac Newton's time one hundred years later it had become 'Februeer'. The modern name, February, is only about a hundred years old.

12 - 14 February were traditionally said to be 'borrowed' from January. If these days were stormy, the year would be favoured with good weather: but if fine, the year's weather would be foul. The last three days of March were said to be borrowed from April.

The flower called snowdrop ( pictured above) appears in February and is a symbol of hope. According to legend, the snowdrop became the symbol of hope when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. When Eve was about to give up hope that the cold winters would never end, an angel appeared. She transformed some of the snowflakes into snowdrop flowers, proving that the winters do eventually give way to the spring.
