Welcome back 5MD!

Welcome to the new school year! I hope you all had a great summer holiday and are rested and revived, ready for the year ahead.

I will add to the blog throughout the year. Children and parents are encouraged to contribute to the blog and to share their work, views and ideas. At least one homework per week will be completed on the blog for this purpose.

This year you will receive a homework letter on Fridays, which will contain details of all homework tasks for the week, all of which will be due in on the following Friday. This gives you the opportunity to complete tasks at a time which is convenient for you and which fits around any commitments you might have outside of school. The first of these letters will be distributed on Friday, 5th September, with the homework due in on Friday, 12th September. You will not receive a homework diary this year and instead will receive a Reading Record diary which should be completed every day with details of reading that has taken place at home. Messages to the teacher can also be passed on this way if required.

I am very much looking forward to the year ahead and hope that you are too!
