Welcome back to school! 

As before, Miss Hession will be supporting Class 2, during the morning on Mondays and Mrs Giles will support us on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning! 

As the weather is now warming up, please ensure that children have a hat for playtimes. We would be grateful if these items are all labelled.  Children should also bring in a named water bottle to school.

Please look at our curriculum map to see what we will be learning this half term. You will also find a copy of our homework grid below.

A weekly homework guide will be continued to be uploaded to teams every Friday with an example of what we have been learning in maths and the methods that we have been using in school.

• Father’s Day gift shop – Monday 9^th June (during school)
• Father’s Day assembly – 13^th June at 14:45
