Welcome to Year 4 and 5, who are taught by Mr Miles and Miss Foston, our brilliant teaching assistant.
Reminders
Spellings - these are in line with our Active Spelling scheme and are tested daily.
PE - we have PE on Mondays and Thursdays - please arrive at school wearing your kit (appropriate for outdoor weather if it is cold).
Reading - the children read to an adult once per week on a 1:1 basis and twice per week as a small group. Please also read at home as much as possible.
Drop off and pick up - will be at the last door on your walk around school. I will be available most days; however, please do not hesitate to contact me to book an appointment if you have something to wish to discuss.
