How you can help your children?
* Ensure they have their indoor and outdoor P.E kits in school all week.
* Listen to your child read regularly and record this in their reading journals– it takes just 10 minutes and reading is just as important in KS2
as KS1.
* Help your child to learn their weekly spellings and times tables and make sure they have their learning log with them on a Thursday to
hand in.
*If you are unsure or concerned about something please do come and see either myself or Mrs Robinson before or after the school day.
