Autumn Term – Grinshill

Welcome to the Autumn Term,

I would just like to welcome you to Grinshill class and post a few items that you will find useful this year.

Monday – New spellings are handed out. Spelling test from last weeks spellings. ( First week back spellings handed out on Tuesday 2nd September, test on Monday 9th).

Monday – PE – Kit (White t-shirt, black or navy shorts/ skort) will need to be in school (Keep in school in case we need it for drama)

Friday – Homework sent out (This will be either Maths, English, Science or Topic with some times table practise)

Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday – Homework handed in.

Please ensure that all children have a water bottle in class with their name on. You don’t have to have a fancy, expensive bottle, a plastic drinks bottle is fine. BUT PLEASE ENSURE ONLY WATER IS GIVEN TO CHILDREN.

Please ensure your child’s name is on their clothing including PE kit.

Daily – In order for your child to make progress it is helpful if they can do 5 to 10 minutes of reading each day and please log this in their reading journal.

Thank you, I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 3rd September 2019
