Important Information for Owls Parents
Homework:
Homework will be given out on a Friday and we ask that it is back in school by the following Thursday.
Spellings
Spellings will be given out half termly. Children will have the chance to learn each week’s spellings throughout the week before applying these in class on a Friday. The children will tick and fix each spelling as they go to encourage application of the spelling rule. If you have misplaced the spelling overview, please ask at drop off or collection and I will get you a copy.
P.E. – Tuesday
Children must come to school in their school P.E. kit of plain white t-shirt, black shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms and plain white or black trainers.
School Lunches
If your child is having a school lunch please ensure that payment is now done through our online payment service.
Please sign up to and check ARBOR for regular updates and information.
Thanks
Mr McKay
