Homework Respect, Achieve, Aspire Daily Reading – Each child will bring home a reading book, we would like each child to be heard read on a daily basis as this can have a major impact on their overall learning and confidence. Friday – Homework will be based on a science/topic/ maths activity each Friday. The children will bring this home in their red homework books. Please support your child in completing their homework and returning it by Wednesday. Class mascot – each class has a class mascot that throughout the year they will have the opportunity to bring home. We ask that your child record things they did with the mascot over the weekend provided in the home book.

Educational Visits Over the year we are hoping to go on several trips to support the learning we are doing within school. We will update on these throughout the year. Respect, Achieve, Aspire
