Homework:

Homework is sent home each Monday in the Homework folder with usually two Literacy based and two Numeracy based tasks. Reading and words must be completed every night and homework book. Children will choose a library book each Monday and we ask that this is also returned on Friday.

Folders should be brought in every day.

We take specific reading groups every day, but please try to read and go over any word / letter cards each night for reinforcement.

Throughout the year, many notes will be sent home. Please ensure you check your child's homework pack and return any notes. Envelopes are available for After School and Dinner Monies.
