Here you will also be able to see lots of photos of all the fun and interesting activities we take part in. Check back regularly for updates.
Reading books will only be changed on Mondays and Thursdays but please try to encourage your child to read everyday. Please sign and date your child’s reading record every time they read. If your child gets 3 entries (signatures and dates) a week they will be entered into the school raffle for a chance to win a prize!
Here are some important dates to help you remember when things should be in school:
Our P.E. days are Wednesdays and Thursdays. Children should come dressed in a plain white t-shirt/polo shirt, plain black bottoms, school jumper/cardigan and their school shoes.
MONDAY – Change reading books and Maths homework will be sent home.
WEDNESDAY – PE day
