Homework
Please read your child's reading book with them as much as possible and ensure it is returned to school daily as we also like to read it with them.
On Fridays your child will receive spellings and the guided reading text for the following week. Please read the guided reading text to your child and discuss it with them. A copy of the spellings and the guided reading text is also available to download at the bottom of this page.
Weekly homework will be set on Seesaw:
Seesaw works on a laptop, tablet or a mobile phone.
Please remember:
- children need to wear P.E. kit to school on Mondays
- send your child's reading book in daily
- only allow your child to bring necessary equipment to school
- send a water bottle and pencil case, containing only a pencil, with your child
- drop off your child by 9am and collect by 3:15pm
