Reading

Reading with your children should be a consistent and expected part of the day. Books will be changed on a Friday, unless you want them changed sooner and bring in the book bag earlier in the week. 

                         Spelling

We are continuing to use Little Wandle and Spelling Shed to guide the teaching of spelling in Year 2. These are the spellings for week 2. 

Uniform
The uniform policy has been recently reviewed and updated. Please read it carefully to avoid an infringement slip. If it is possible, please use proper name tags rather then pen.

Drink and fruit
Please bring a named water bottle to school each day. We are able to refill the bottles if needed. Children receive a fresh piece of fruit or vegetable daily for their mid-morning snack. If you would like your child to have milk please contact the office for further details.
 

Homework

TBC

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me either through the school office or email me at elizabeth.rose@more-park-westmalling.kcsp.org.uk
