Monday 26th January

Welcome to our blog.

The children had a great time presenting this week’s homework and they received an allocation of points for their efforts. A few children will present theirs on Monday as we ran out of time because they were so good.

If children do not bring their work in for two weeks then the child will have to revert to doing sentences every week. The children were really excited and we are encouraging them to complete the work themselves with some help. If there are any questions do not hesitate to come in and ask one of the 3 and 4 team.
There is My maths homework to and this can be completed any time up to the end of this half term.
