End of Autumn 1 Week 7 Message and Updates

We are really pleased with our Year 4s. They have been wonderful to teach and their independence and maturity are growing week upon week. Children have been given optional homework that will build upon the skills they have been learning this week. Homework can be handed in at any point during the first week back and any returned homework will be awarded with Dojos.

 

UPDATES:

All children need their PE kits for Wednesday.

The children should be bringing their reading books and reading journals in every day of the week and will be given chance to change their library books on Tuesday when we get back to school.

Kit checks will be taking place on the first week back so please send your children in with their walking boots, waterproof trousers, waterproof coat and rucksack to have them checked by Mr MacDonald.
