Important information:
Spellings will be sent home at the beginning of each new term. Spelling tests take place on a Friday.
Please make sure your child has a named PE kit, water bottle, reading book and message book in school every day.
At the moment, homework will not be assigned as a weekly individual task. Instead, this time will provide more opportunities for children to focus on their Spellings, Reading, and Times Tables practice. We hope this approach will allow them to continue making good progress and demonstrate their learning.
