This week

 

We have had a lovely first week back after. The children have restarted performing arts, taken up swimming lessons and even had the opportunity to plant some flowers and herbs this afternoon in the sunshine! 

 

 

 

Homework

This week, we started our new topic which focuses on HS2 and its impact on Greatworth.  The children have been given a new homework grid to reflect this. As SATs have been completed we have now returned to our normal daily maths and spellings homework with the children expected to complete one arithmetic sheet per day (These can be found above under the subheading Mental Maths - Summer Term).
