Please can you provide your child with a full PE kit in school, including shorts or tracksuit bottoms, a t-shirt and pumps or trainers. Earrings must be removed for these sessions or your child will not be able to participate in PE due to health and safety. Please ensure all uniform and PE kit is clearly labelled!

Each week children will have homework as follows:

• On a Monday after half term-  children will bring home spellings to learn and letter sounds ( phonemes ) to practise.

• At the beginning of the half term your child will  bring home a topic"web" with a variety of tasks to choose related to the topic in different subject areas.

SPRING TERM 2020

Our learning in the Spring term is under the heading of, "Our Family Album". We have enjoyed this topic so far and have been lucky enough to welcome many of Class 1's family and carers into class.

We are so proud of the homework that is coming in about the capital cities of the UK and the flags of the different countries. It is interesting to find out about the different towns and cities you have visited with your children in the UK. 

Keep sending in baby pictures and any special teddies or toys your children played with as a baby. Mrs Jepson is sure none of them will be as old as her teddy Cocoa!
