Dear Parents,

Welcome back to a new and exciting year! 

We are thrilled with how well the children have settled into their new classroom and routines and we are very much looking forward to the term ahead. The highlight this term is our trip to Noddfa, with the opportunity to slow down, reflect and have the opportunity to focus on our spirituality. 

As you know, the class are taught by Mrs. Palf on a Monday and Tuesday and Mrs. Hughes the rest of the week- and we are lucky enough to have the support of Mrs. Barlow. 

PE

We are timetabled to have PE on a Monday and Friday so please remember to bring in PE kits after the weekend. Please make sure that your child keeps their PE kit in school for the whole week, due to any potential swaps and extra sessions and that every piece of clothing is labelled with their name.

Homework

Please encourage your child to read at home as much as possible and to have their reading diaries signed and dated. We will continue to check reading diaries as part of our Read Around the World whole school challenge.

Spellings will be given out at the beginning of term for the whole term and spelling tests are on a Monday. These can also be accessed on spelling shed. 

English or maths homework will continue to be set on a Friday, due in the following Wednesday. Please also encourage your child to learn their times tables. We will be practising these in class and will have a weekly times table check. The children have done a fantastic job so far learning and recalling their tables so thank you for your support. 

As always, feel free to pop over before or after school to speak to us if you have any concerns or questions or email admin if you would rather have an appointment. We look forward to continuing to work with you and your child and building on the fantastic first few weeks we have had. 

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Hughes and Mrs Palfreyman
