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.
3) Homework is set every Monday, and this is done on TEAMS. They will have 1 week to complete it. 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.
If you have any questions or queries, please don't hesitate to speak to me before or after school, I will be more than willing to help or point you in the right direction of someone who can!
