PE: Please ensure that your child has the correct PE kit, clearly labelled with their name. For Indoor PE black shorts, white shirt and plimsolls/trainers are required with the addition of dark tracksuit bottoms/jacket/leggings for Outdoor PE. This needs to be in a suitable, labelled PE bag. PE kits stay in school until half term as lesson times/days may be changed.

Homework (spellings and maths) is given out on Wednesday and collected in on Monday. A topic based project will be given out at the beginning and should be submitted before the end of term. Children will have weekly spelling test on the Monday of each week. Children will be bringing a reading book home. They will have the opportunity to change the book every week. We expect children to read at home daily and we ask that you write comments in your child’s reading diary.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to talk to your child’s teacher after school.

Many thanks
