This week your child will come home with extra homework (on top of their CGP books)

We would appreciate it if you could ensure that they complete each question - reading, GPS and maths. It should not take too long and will help your child revise in the run up to SATs in early May. Thank you for your support.

Year 5/6 Blogpost Friday 7th February 2025

Dear Parents, 

It has been a rather busy week with lots going on. Thank you to the parents and children that have taken the time to complete the questionnaires. We are very much looking forward to our trip on Monday. Please take the time to read the letter that your children received earlier in the week, detailing what the children need to do and take. 

Well done to the children that took part in the Sumdog competition.

CARDBOARD NEEDED!

Another reminder as there are still quite a few children that have not brought the materials they need to construct their fairground rid.

In Computing lessons later on this half term, the children will be programming circuits to design a fairground ride. In order for the children to make these rides, we ask that any cardboard, yoghurt pots etc can be brought into the school. This would be greatly appreciated.
