Homework

Please support your child at home by encouraging them to read their personal reading book regularly and to make use of Times Table Rockstars to improve their fluency with their multiplication and division facts.  Children will be sent home with a spelling worksheet every Monday.

Useful Information

Children should bring a water bottle from home but are asked not to bring in their own stationary. Mobile phones are permitted for those children who walk to and from school on their own but must hand these in to the class teacher at the beginning of each school day.
