For Science Week, we had some special visitors called Safari Phil and Spiky Dave. They brought in some amazing animals that we were able to hold and touch. We were so brave and had the best time!

Homework

Our homework policy is 'little and often'. Daily homework this half term includes reading. This work should be recorded into your reading record and signed daily by an adult. 

Reading

Daily reading is the best way we can help our children to succeed. Aim for 20 minutes each day.

P.E.

P.E. days are Thursday and Friday. Children should come to school wearing their P.E kits, trainers and school jumpers.

Home Learning

If your child is self isolating and well, they are expected to complete work daily. Work will be uploaded each day onto Seesaw and/or Purple Mash. 

Please use the suggested timetable below to help structure your child's day. 

We can help families who are isolating that do not have an iPad or laptop by loaning out equipment or you can get a paper pack of work to complete. Please contact the school office if you need this support.
