There will also be a 10 minute afternoon break time each day.

We value the support of all parents and guardians. If you feel you can help in any way with the work we
are covering this term, please contact myself.

Homework will be set where possible. Children will have at least two days to complete most work and I
recommend they spend no longer than forty minutes working on the task. After this time encourage
your child to stop. If there are any problems or difficulties please contact the school. Thank you.

Once again this term children are being encouraged, where possible, to give themselves 15 minutes a
day to read their book, recording in their diaries what time they started and finished, and how much they
managed to read. Any assistance and encouragement would be appreciated.

If you have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to pop in to class after school for a quick
chat or alternatively contact me to arrange a mutually convenient appointment for more in depth
discussions.
