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 still chilly, please ensure that children have a coat, hat and gloves 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.

Important dates:

Wednesday 30th April: KS1 Easter performance in the Church - 14:30

Thursday 1st May: KS2 Easter performance in the Church - 14:30

Friday 9th May: Trip to Barleylands Farm. Please look out for further information on this via email

Tuesday 20th May: We will be visiting the library as a class on Tuesday 20^th May. Your children have brought home a library form. Please complete this form if your child does not have a library card or if their library card has been misplaced. Please return forms by Monday 9^th May, so I can drop them off to the library, in order for them to be made, in time for our visit. If your child already has a library card, please can these be brought to school on Monday 19^th May, as your child will have the opportunity to borrow some books.

Below are some really useful, interactive games that the children can access at home with your support.
