We have a very busy term ahead!
A Note from the Teachers
Primary 2 will continue to have their homework issued on a Monday for return on a Thursday/Friday. Please ensure that your child brings their folder to school on one of these days to allow time for marking and issuing of new tasks. Word bags should be returned to school every Friday to allow for updating with new words. Reading books must also be brought to school every day as they are used to complete after reading tasks and activities.
Our P.E. days will continue to be Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child brings their gym kit on these days.
