You can choose to complete as many courses as you wish – they will all help
us with our projects in class. Don’t forget to bring them every Wednesday
to share with the other children, earn a marble and display in the

Please continue to help your child to learn their times tables. We have daily practise at
school using the ‘sands of time’. This half term we are looking closely at the links between
the 3 and 6, 4 and 8 and are also going to begin looking at 7 and 9… Don’t forget to read your
book as much as you can and bring it every day! If your child needs to change their books
there is chance at the end of every day.
Any problems, please come and see me!
