Notes & Messages
We would be very grateful for parent volunteers for our trips to the library and for our geography field work. If you are able to help, please let us know! To further support confidence in maths, we will be setting homework on MyMaths. If your child does not have access to a device at home, they are welcome to complete the homework in school before the start of the day. Please ensure they arrive by 8:40am to allow enough time to do this.
