PE

This term we will have PE on a Thursday. Please come to school in your PE kit every Thursday. Our PE kit is our school kit (available from the school office) and black pumps.

Homework

Spellings will be sent home weekly. Children will be given a paper copy of their spellings on a Friday. Children should practise their spellings at home as we will have a test the following week. Children will also have a reading book and will take this home on a weekend along with their reading record. This is to be signed with a written comment and brought into school the following week to be checked. 

Each half term a project will be set linked to something we are learning about in school. Outcomes to these projects can be shared via a physical project or shared on X!
