Maths homework will usually be set on a Friday, providing the homework book supports the current topic. It should be returned by the following Tuesday. Children are expected to read a book or access Bug Club at home daily. They should discuss their reading at home and have their Reading Record signed by adults.
On PE days, children should come to school in their school uniform and bring a PE kit (white top and black bottoms with trainers) to change into.
