2) PE lesson will take place every Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kits. We will always try to do PE outside, so be mindful about the appropriateness of their kits.

Your child will know their logins, however if they need reminding please see me before or after school. Homework will consist of either Literacy, Maths or RE work. If your child is unable to access TEAMS, please inform me at the earliest convenience so I can print a paper copy for them.
