Our Curriculum
Welcome back to our final half term of the year. We are looking forward to one final push this term for all children to achieve their full potential. It is vital that children continue to read at home and bring their books in each week. Children will also be given a weekly spelling quiz and we are encouraging all children to keep practising their times tables. We have a busy half term filled which we will finish off with sports day and a fun end of year trip to celebrate the end of year 2.
