Below are some of the topics we will be covering across the curriculum this term. 

Many thanks.

Friday - English homework - Green folder

Each week English homework is set which relates to work completed in class throughout the week. English homework is due in the following Tuesday.

Friday – Maths homework -Red folder

Each week Maths homework is set either in the form of a computer based activity or paper based questions (when relevant both will be set). Maths homework is due to be handed in on the following Tuesday.

Spellings this week:

PE Days

The PE days for this term are as follows:

Tuesday - Indoor PE

From time to time we have the opportunity to take part in additional sporting activities and so it is advised that the children bring their PE kit in on Monday and take it home on Friday for cleaning.
