Spelling Alive: Children have been retested and some may have moved up a level. Please ensure they are revising these each night.
Reading: Mrs T is taking Reading groups for this term while I withdraw groups of children for the Spelling Success programme. Your child may bring a journal story home or they are expected to read something of their own choice for 15-20mins each night.
Twitter Chapter Chat:This term's book is The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. If you have a copy, your child may like to bring it to school to read along with me.
Skool Loop: From tomorrow we will be using the Skool Loop app for all notices, absences and communication. Be sure to download the app so you can access all school information from your phone.
Thank you and have a great week
