How can you enrich
your childs learning?

Curriculum
Overview:
Dear Parents,

First of all I would like to welcome your child
back to school. This is another very important
year of your childs education which will be
filled with enjoyment, challenges and great
memories!

They will also be given homework to
consolidate learning in class. Their learning
log will be taken home most weeks and
should be brought back to school the
following Tuesday. Alternatively they may be
given a task on the class blog.
Please talk to them about what they are
doing and if necessary help them. A
comment about any help given will be
appreciated.

Please do not hesitate to come in and see
me if you wish to discuss any concerns.

Thank you for your co-operation and support
Mr Atherton
