Class Information
Home reader books can be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We encourage children to write in their reading journals at least 3 times a week with a relevant comment, for example, about a favourite character or part of the book. We will hear your child read regularly in school to assess their progress. Reading is essential to progress so please try and hear your child read as often as possible.
Spelling and maths champion targets will be sent home on the first Friday of each half term and be tested on the last week of each half term.
P.E. The children will be doing PE on Mondays and Wednesdays.
