Spelling B Mondays
Mondays are the usual days for our spelling tests - based on the words that we will need in our school work - this knowledge is important to allow us to read and complete our daily activities.
Please encourage your child to practise their spellings every night!
Wednesday Afternoons
Wednesdays are our PE days and also Non-Uniform as we come to school in our PE CLOTHES and TRAINERS (leggings, joggers, t-shirts please).
in the interests of your child's health and safety
PLEASE REMOVE ALL JEWELLERY BEFORE COMING TO SCHOOL ON PE DAYS!
We had our first session this afternoon and it went well - the children revised the 3 notes they learned last time and nearly all of them were able to hold the instrument and play it correctly and confidently!
BEAT THAT! Fridays
Our learning focus in maths will extend this term to include the 4, 7 and 8 times tables.
