Elder class has indoor PE on Tuesdays and outdoor PE on a Thursday afternoon (if not swimming in the morning).

 

Please remember to come to school wearing their PE kit with long hair tied back and earrings removed/taped. 

Homework:

This will be set every two weeks.  Each child has a homework book in which to complete/stick their work.  Books need to be submitted on Thursdays and new homework will be issued on the Friday.  Year 6 is a good time to start practising completing homework expectations in readiness for Secondary school!

 

Please bring a water bottle to school!
