May I begin this new term by wishing you all a happy and healthy new year! I hope you have all managed to have a lovely Christmas break.

This week our main priority is for children to ensure that they are able to log on to the online learning resources offered and begin to use them. Please check with your child that they are able to access the Collins e-books for reading. 2 books have been assigned to your child this week online.  Continue to encourage the use of Mathletics to help your child with their number fact recall and use Teach Your Monster to Read for Phonics activities. A reminder of all login details will be sent via Seesaw.
