  • Weekly spellings will be sent home every Friday. Please practise these with your child at home.
  • Maths lessons and activities are now set on MyMaths.co.uk and Mathematics.com.
  • Please make sure that your child brings a warm coat, hat and gloves as the weather is getting colder.
  • PE is on Tuesday afternoon, please make sure your child has indoor and outdoor PE kit in school on that day,
  • Swimming lessons  Term 5. Please make sure children are on time, have their swimming kit and a snack for when we get back to school (swimming makes the children very hungry!)
