Home Learning Term 1
We are really looking forward to welcoming pupils into school this week. From Thursday 3rd September, Year 1 children will start school at 8:30am and finish at 3pm. They must enter through the double gate onto the main playground and make their way down to their classrooms, where they will be collected from the playground. We ask that you please stick rigidly to these times in order to protect the bubble system and avoid pupil mixing with children from other year groups.
We believe reading is extremely important. Children need to read all kinds of books.
