Each year, we teachers start out so hopeful and excited to begin the new journey with your child. We come in with hopes and dreams of what the year will be like - and all of those visions include good things for your child. Whilst we are willing to put in the effort, the hours, the creativity, the enthusiasm - having your support results in your child's overall success!

Watersports - This will take place in Summer Term.
Reading Books - Please make sure children have their reading books and reading journals in school every day.
Homework – Homework will be sent each Friday. This is to be returned on Wednesday.
Spellings – There will be no formal tests for spelling - children will be learning rules and patterns in class during daily spelling lessons and investigations.
