Dear Parents/Carers
This week in Year 5/6, children have been split across the three classes for reading and maths. This is to prepare our Year 6 children for their SATs tests in May.
Homework pages have been posted on Google Classroom. Children should hand their GPS books to their Class Teacher and their maths books to the teacher they have for that lesson.
Some children did not take their books home with them today. They can take them on Monday. We will not expect homework to be returned until Friday 21st January.
On Friday 21st January, children in all three classes will be taking part in Walk Online. This is an online safety session hosted by 'The Two Johns' who we know well here at Down Hall. Their sessions are always interesting and informative and enjoyed by the children.
'The Two Johns' will be hosting a webinar for parents, to give you an insight into what they will be sharing with the children. Please see details below:
Have a lovely weekend.
