Our P.E days will be on Monday and Wednesday this term. Please can you ensure that all pupils make every effort to wear their kits into school for this essential area of child development.

Reading will take place both individually and as part of group reading. Year 4 children are currently being assessed to gain a greater understanding of their individual needs in this area. Any extra reading is a huge benefit to your child - sharing a book daily will make a huge difference in their understanding and enjoyment. Times tables are also an important part of numerical development. Please support your child in learning these, they will be tested and their progress monitored throughout the year!

Homework will be given out either on Thursday or Friday, starting next week, to be returned by Wednesday unless stated.

Water bottles and a healthy snack may also be brought in to school.

If you have any queries I am usually available in the classroom after school. Thank you for your support and I look forward to a busy and productive autumn term.

Yours faithfully,

Mr C Munday
