I hope everyone enjoyed the mid-term. 1^st Class have now completed their standardised tests. The results will be included in your child’s report card for the school year. You should get those in the next week. We are encouraging all children in the school to cycle or bring their bike to school on Wednesday 14th of June 2017. Please bring your helmet, hi-viz and a working bike, scooter or flicker.

a helmet check to ensure your helmet is fitted properly.

Tricky Word activities. – We are revising the Tricky Words 7 list – yellow words

We will have a word check on the Tricky Words 7 (yellow words) and a handwriting test this week – I will say the phonics sound ‘a as in apple’, ’k as in kite’, ‘oa as in boat’ etc, and the children will write the letter or letters.
