Need To Know 5th January 2018
Welcome back everyone. I hope you had a really lovely Christmas break with your families and friends. We’re now into our busy Spring term. Please remember to read this flyer carefully each week for the key information about what is going on in school. It can always be found on the school website in the ‘blog’ section.
You will be getting details of the curriculum for the new term over the next few weeks. Class teachers will also be setting home learning tasks. Please remember the importance of reading every day. We hope to have our library completed this term, so that will be a big boost for our book lovers.
You will continue to get a class newsletter each week. This should give you plenty of ideas of how you can help your child at school, and find out what they’ve been up to!
Any questions or concerns please feel free to come and see us.
Thanks and Happy New Year,
Steve and the team
