Reminders

P.E. is on Wednesdays and Fridays this term, so remember to send your child into school in P.E. kit on Friday and bring P.E. kit into school for our Wednesday P.E. lessons.

Please ensure your child brings their blazer, school cap/beret, and a water bottle in every day.

We will change books after children read them twice so they can understand the stories better and gain a better understanding of the words and stories. We’ll read with them at least once a week in school.

​

Home learning is emailed out every Friday.

If you have any queries about this term, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,

Miss Wilkinson
