Reading
At St Paul’s we would like you to listen and talk to your child about the book that they bring home from school every evening. Each child has
a Reading Record for you to make comment on when you have heard your child read. These need to be brought into school every day.
Homework Homework will be given once a week on a Friday. It is due in on a Thursday. Please discuss the homework that your child has each week as
this relates to their learning in school
