Spellings will be set on a Thursday to be tested on the following Wednesday.
Please have your reading folder in school every day. It is important that you read at home at least three times per week and have your reading record signed. It is very important that children are reading at home in order to progress.

come to school in the correct school uniform. The uniform consists of the following:
