We hope everyone had a lovely summer.   We are really impressed with the way the children have settled into their new classes.

Homework: Homework will be sent home on a Friday.  This will include one task, 30 minutes of Maths Whizz and reading.   The main task can be completed in the homework book or on Google Classroom.  This needs to be handed in on Wednesday or earlier.

Reading: It is extremely important to try to read regularly, so that the children can continue to build on their skills as a reader.  Please encourage children to record any new words that they find whilst reading so that we can explore new vocabulary together.

Merits:  In order for children to receive their weekly merit we expect them to complete their homework each week, read three times a week and complete 30 minutes of Maths Whizz.

P.E.  P.E. lessons will be on Mondays and Thursdays. Please can the children arrive in school wearing their full kit on Thursdays and trainers on Monday.

Snacks: We encourage the children to have healthy snack at playtimes for example fruit, vegetables or cereal bars.  This does not include chocolate or crisps.
