Your helpChildren need to be in line at 8.50am, please let your child enter the classroom on their own. They need to be picked up at 3.15pm outside the classroom in the infant playground.

Please make sure all items of uniform, PE kits etc. are clearly named. They do go missing!

We aim to change the reading books and listen to the children read in school at least twice a week. Please understand there may be the odd occasion where this may not be possible.

Similarly we appreciate your support in hearing the children read to you. It really does make a difference to their ability to read and write.

Our P.E. sessions are on Monday afternoon and Friday
