Can I please remind parents that their child should be practising spellings for about 5 minutes each evening. They can use the look, cover, write, check method.
A few minutes a day really does make a huge difference.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

This week the children have been given a short activity on identifying animals that are either herbivores, carnivores or omnivores. This is what we have been working on in science this week.
Also, there will be a times table test next week, so the children will need to practice the following;
year 2 – 2,3,5,and 10 times table
Year 3 – 2,3,4,6,8,and 10 times table
Could all books be in by next Thursday please.
Have a lovely weekend!

As part of the science curriculum we have to study our local environment in each season.
This week we will be going outside to explore our school grounds to see what plant life and animal life we can find.
So, I would like the children to look in their gardens to see what leaves they can see, and perhaps on the way to school. I have included in their books a woodland trust leaf identifier. Maybe, your children could stick in an example of some of the leaves they have found.
