Monday 15th June

Welcome to our blog

This  week we will be assessing the children to see how much progress that they have made during the last academic year. The children will be sitting test in reading, writing and maths. It is really important that the children have full attendance as the children perform their tests much better when they are sat with their groups or classes.

Age related spellings homework

We have sent home the full list of age related spellings and these are being tested every Friday. Please could you spend some time helping your child learn these as they MUST know them.
