Believe
“May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Romans 15:13
Reading books will be changed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, as a minimum. Please make every effort to read with your child at home regularly and comment in their Reading Record book.
The children are given spellings every Friday to take home and practise them. A weekly spelling test will take place on the following Friday.
This term, we will have P.E. on a Wednesday and a Thursday. On Thursday the children will need trainers or pumps for Games. We do ask that children have P.E. kits in school every day in case of a change to the timetable.
Homework:
(15 minutes Reading/Spelling/No. Facts) + 3 Maths- Mon, Wed and Fri and 2 Lit/Topic homework on a Monday and Friday
