Please ensure your child comes to school in their P.E. kit on these days.
Home learning
We know that our children will excel the most through school when they are reading and practising their times tables and spelling at home. Please ensure that your child is reading regularly at home and please encourage your child to continue practising their times tables. This will give them the best chance of progression. We know that children love to learn at home and if they create presentations or complete projects of something they are engaged with, we love to see these. We will be sending out optional homework every Friday.
Snacks
Your child can bring in a healthy snack to eat at breaktimes.
Phones
If your child brings their phone to school, we will ask them to turn it off and it will be locked away in the classroom until home time.
