Monday 29th September

Welcome to our blog.  Well done to all those children who read at home and also who had a comment in  their diary. We are giving a raffle ticket out to everyone who has read three times each week. There will be a small raffle at the end of the week.

Homework was given out last Friday and your child should have brought home:

A list of spellings for the whole half term

A list in their diary of spellings.

A homework book.

A maths sheet task one.

Please remember that the children have five activities on my Maths to be completed before the end of term.

Swimming is on every Tuesday. We have seven weeks left.

Thank you to all the helpers and we look forward to seeing you.

We can only go swimming if there are enough adult helpers.
