Children are supported in their learning by Miss Vicky Sharpe, our dedicated Learning Support Assistant.
If you have any questions, please speak to your child's class teacher. You can do this by phoning the school to make an appointment if we are not available at the end of the day. Alternatively, we can be reached via our classroom emails:

PE days
PE days can change weekly so please ensure PE kits are in school at the beginning of every half term and we will send them home for washing at the end of the half term. If the weather is cold they can wear jogging bottoms and tops and if they are outside along with coats if they’d like to.
Library day
When we are ready, we will issue your child with a library book to borrow for the week. Please return the book on a Tuesday so a new one can be issued.
If you have any school books at home from Year 1, can you please return them to school ASAP.
Please find below 5 activities that you can complete with your child on the run up to Easter. There are discussions, readings, thinking activities as well as craft ideas for you to enjoy as a family. The sections at the bottom of each page title 'Easter Journey Card' are being completed in school so you do not need to worry about these.
To keep you reading in half term, Miss Cryer has set you a bit of a challenge.
Have a look at the pdf below and then check out the video I have put on the video resource centre. You will find it right at the top and there will be a new one each day of half term.
While I'm here, WELL DONE for completing 6 whole weeks of home school.
Team two, we think you are AMAZING.
Have a wonderful half term and we hope to see you very soon :-)
Hello everyone, just a quick note to say that we will be uploading each task in 2 different formats from now on. One in a PDF format (that can't be edited and should appear as we intend on any device); and one in a Word doc. format. This may mean it appears differently depending on the device you are using, however it will mean you can edit it/complete some of the work electronically should you wish to do so.
We hope this helps. Any difficulties, please get in touch.
