REMINDERS

• Please make sure your child always has their FULL PE kit in school on Monday and that it is clearly named. However, we will send your child’s PE kit home on a Thursday, as they will need to come into school every Friday wearing their FULL PE kit ready for their Friday PE lesson.

• A letter will be sent out showing you what your child is expected to do for homework each week. The letter will include reading, weekly spellings and maths.

• Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle every day.

• All uniform should be clearly labelled, so it can be easily returned if it gets misplaced.

• I hope this will give you further insight into your child’s education. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

​

Yours faithfully

Miss Giles
