Please see our Autum Newsletter attached at the bottom of the page, for more information about what we are doing this term and for other important information.

Reading

Reading books will be changed every Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure you are reading every night to help develop your child's fluency and understanding. Whenever you read at home, please make sure you are logging it in their new reading journal. These will be signed off every Friday to audit daily home reading. I recommend that you keep some books for a little bit longer to re-read to support their understanding and fluency. 

Homework

Homework is sent out every Friday via your child's orange homework book where the content will be stuck onto the next page. Homework is due every following Wednesday for a 3 dojo prize. Find the links below to direct you to some websites we may use for homework.

Physical Education

PE takes place every Tuesday and Thursday and is delivered by our experienced CEPD coaches/ Tattenhall Park Primary staff. Please ensure that your child's PE kit is in every day as we may choose to have an additional PE lesson. Please see our PE timetable below.
