Readers...

We expect children to be reading at home most nights for around 10/15 minutes. We want to encourage a love of reading as much as possible so that children can understand the key aspects of reading.

As a whole class we will be reading 'Who let the Gods out'.

P.E...

Our P.E. lessons this half-term will be on a Thursday afternoon. We will be going swimming. Please see the letter on Dojo regarding what children need to bring.

Forest School...

This half-term Year 4 will be going to the forest on a Friday morning. Please come to school in forest school clothes with PE to get changed into afterwards.

Spellers...

The children will receive spellings for the half-term.  We will complete our spelling activities every Friday.

Snacks...

If you would like to buy a healthy snack it is £1 per week, this can be payable as £7 for the half-term through ParentPay.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me on Class Dojo.
