Family Learning
Dear parents, please look out for some great Family Learning events coming up. We have a fantastic workshop on Reading with your Child at home on the 13th February 2018 at 9am. Open to all Key Stage 1 parents.
Why not join us for other events, Decorate a Bag, Healthy Snacks, Make Eid Decorations and Paediatric First Aid . Please come and support your child’s learning. Thank you
Mrs S Rasheed.
The Power of Reading
Reading is a really good way that you can help your child’s learning at home. Children who read everyday, not only read well and understand what they have read, they can achieve and become more confident in many other areas of the curriculum. Children who can read well are far more likely to achieve and do well later in life.
Families, please encourage your child to read home/school reading book each day and support this reading by commenting in their reading record. Thank you for your continued support.

We like children to play out in most weather. Please make sure your child has a warm, waterproof coat and sensible shoes for rain and snow each day.
