Homework

Phonics and maths homework will be given out on a Friday. The children can practise writing and saying the taught sounds for that week as well as attempting the maths challenge.

When your child receives a reading book please support your child at home by reading 5 x a week for at least 10 minutes.

To ensure your child is ready to learn, please provide them with a labelled bottle of water everyday. A healthy snack of fruit or vegetables is provided by the school. 

Forest school will be on Thursday afternoons weather permitting, for Term 2. A pair of wellie boots would be useful.
