Letter to parents
Dear Parents,
Just a little note home to firstly say what another wonderful term we have had. When we return from the holidays, we are on our final countdown to the SAT tests. With this in mind, we have been thinking about Easter homework.
On one hand, we truly believe the children should be given time to have a proper break and come back totally refreshed. However, as SATs are so close, a little homework will help to keep their brains ticking over. We have uploaded some documents on the class pages with the answers for them to check. As mentioned on parents’ evening, they have study books to finish if they have not yet done so. We have also added some links onto the website that could be used for 10 minutes per day.
Have a restful half term break and I will see you all when we return.
Mrs Woods and Mrs McGrath
