Term 2 topic - Time for a Party.

We will be starting to find out about some festivals and parties that happen around the world.

Children should be encouraged to come in and organise themselves where possible. They should put their reading books in the basket and their bookbags in the box.

We would like to encourage parents to enjoy a story with their children.

Children are expected to take part in a reading activity at home at least 4 times each week.

Homework will be sent home on a Tuesday to be completed and handed back in on the following Monday. These will be challenges to keep you all busy at home. Please support us with these tasks to help your child extend their learning.
