7. Homework
ALL homework is given out on Monday and needs to be returned by the following Monday. This will give you the weekend to help your child with any misunderstandings that occur. Every Monday we will have a spelling test. This term children will not be asked to write them in a sentence, instead they should concentrate on learning the correct spelling. Children are encouraged to read for ten minutes every day. The book will be given to the children each week. The pages read need to be recorded into their reading record. And also, please make notes if there is any misconception.

8. Want to talk?
If you would like to have a private meeting with me to discuss your child or any concerns you are having, please don’t hesitate to contact via the office to organise an after school meeting.
