We are going to have lots of fun learning across the curriculum. We will keep you updated with the fun and exciting things we get up to every day via our Twitter feed.
Reading
Please try and read with your child as often as possible. Focus on asking questions about their book as this will help them with their reading comprehension. Reading books are due in for changing on a Wednesday and given back out on a Friday.
General
Please come into school every day in full school uniform including suitable footwear.
Children can bring a water bottle, clearly labelled with their name and containing plain water.
PE

📢 School Council Elections – Friday 18th September! 📢
As discussed both in classes and in assembly, if you would like to stand for school council this year, please prepare a short speech explaining why you would make a great school councillor.
Think about the great qualities you have, how you would represent your classmates and the ideas and enthusiasm you could bring to our school councillor meetings.
Write your speech at home and bring it to school on Friday, ready for the elections!
Good luck to everyone who puts themselves forward! 🤞
Democracy is one of our British Values. School council allows our children to have a voice, vote, share ideas and work together. 🤩
