Please remember to bring your reading book into school regularly with a signed comment in the yellow reading record. As your child moves further along the reading scheme, books take longer to read. So even if your child hasn’t finished the book, please write a comment so we know that they are reading regularly at home.

P.E. will be on Fridays. Please remember to come to school in appropriate kit and remove all jewellery please.

Other activities to support learning are on: Hwb, Active Learn, Top Marks, Google Classroom, Prodigy, Epic Reading and Oxford Owl. Children have their own personal login details.
