Monday and Tuesday- Indoor/outdoor PE kit.

Wednesday – Homework & Spellings are to be handed in

Friday – Homework and Spelling handed out

If you need any support or have any questions regarding how you can support your child’s learning at home or require further resources please speak to you child’s class teacher (Miss Ward).
