Your child will also be heard throughout the week by a member of staff and have their book changed. 

 

• Children will have a homework book, given out on a Wednesday and this will be returned on a Monday. 

 

• Children will receive Math’s fluency homework Monday to Friday - Please complete each night and return in the morning.

 

• PE Kits: On a Monday. Children should arrive at school in their uniform and will get changed into PE kit. Please make sure children have everything they need, including school shoes and ties for after PE.
