Reading: Please read with your child as often as possible, ideally four times a week. Reading books are changed every Friday. This is the only day reading books need to be in school.

Children are given English and maths homework activities to complete every Friday. These can be found in book bags. Curriculum homework is included in the weekly letter and is in the form of a ‘Big Talk’ task.
