Homework
To support learning at home, we expect:

- Spelling – Weekly spelling lists to practice at home. Spellings will be tested on Friday.
- Times Tables – Regular practice using TT Rockstars to improve multiplication skills.
Forest Schools
Our Forest School sessions will begin every Friday morning after October half term until Christmas. I know the children are looking forward to this. We will also have several opportunities to take part in outdoor learning in other curriculum areas.
Trips
During the year every child will be given the opportunity to visit the library on several occasions and attend different events at local high schools. We are planing to visit London during the year and we also have additional special visitors coming into school to share their knowledge and help bring the curriculum to life.
