Other class information:

 
Firstly, PE is on a Tuesday and a Friday. Children will need to bring a full P.E. kit. They are welcome to come to school in PE kit but they must bring a complete set of spare clothes to change into afterwards.

Their library day is also on Tuesday and children should choose one fiction text, one non-fiction text and a third book of their choice.

Children should bring in their home readers every day - please make a note in their every time you read with your child
.
Any written messages to parents will be in the back of your home reader - please sign to let me know you have received the message. Similarly, please use this book for any messages for the class teacher.

Homework goes out on a Thursday and should be returned to class on or before the following Tuesday. Children will normally receive one piece of maths and literacy homework per week. On top of this they will have an ongoing half-termly homework project and weekly spellings to learn, as well as their daily reading. Phew!


Meanwhile, if there are any other issues please come and speak to me. Thanks to all parents for making this a fun year.

Mr Greenwood.
