Week beg 10^th January 2022

Happy New Year to everyone! It was lovely to welcome everyone back this week and hopefully we will all stay safe and well over the next few weeks.

We have another busy term in store and will have pupil teacher meetings to look at targets together and also parent teacher phone calls where we can discuss progress and attainment for the Autumn term.

We are also planning to visit the Imperial Museum Salford Quays on Wednesday 2^nd February to enhance our learning on our ‘Conflict’ topic. A letter will be sent out with more details asap.

Remember to encourage your child to read for 15 – 20 mins daily and to record their reading in their diaries. We have stapled a list of recommended books for Year 6 children in the front of their diaries and we would like them to read some of these throughout the year. We have a lot of these texts in our class library so the children can borrow them from school or they might find some at their local library. We have asked them to tick off the books that that they read on the list.
