General reminders
This term’s Homework grid has been uploaded onto Teams. Please can the homework be uploaded to Teams as Dojo’s are given for completed pieces of work.
Please send Reading books with their Reading Records into school regularly. Every effort is made to read with your child at least once a week.
Monday will be our outdoor and PE day.(Begins on 7th October as we have swimming) Please ensure your child brings/wears appropriate clothing on these days.
Spelling tests will be held on Fridays. Information for these will be put on Teams.
It is each child's responsibility to look after their own things but name and class labelling really helps as we can return lost items back to their owners quickly.
We encourage the children to keep water bottles in school to keep them hydrated throughout the day.
Please ensure children bring a healthy snack to school for playtimes.

Class Book
This term we will be reading: The Boy Who Swam With Piranhas by David Almond.
When Stanley Potts’s guardian, Uncle Ernie, develops an unhealthy obsession with fish, Stan has no choice but to strike out on his own. Far from the life he knows, he’s welcomed by a carnival of eccentric characters, including the legendary Pancho Pirelli, the man who swims with piranhas.

If you have any questions please
contact Mrs Rourke through email on Teams.
