Useful Information

• Every week we will send out a class newsletter which will let you know what we have been up to that week. It will also detail any homework which we would like the children to complete.
• PE kits are needed to be kept at school.
• Family Box - there is a timetable on the class door which states when your child will be bringing the Family Box home. It will be taken home each Friday and then returned the following Friday for Family Box time. Instructions and information are inside the family box - don't worry it shouldn't take too much of your valuable time - but it is a lovely activity to do with your child.

 

Any questions, queries or anything at all please do not hesitate to pop in and see me.
