Homework: Homework alternates between Maths and English each week with the occasional piece of Topic work. Homework goes home every Friday and should be returned by the following Thursday. This is an expectation of all pupils in Lime Tree Class. If there is a problem or your child doesn’t understand a task, please come and speak to us and we can explain in further detail.
Spelling: Spellings are sent home every Friday and are tested the following Thursday. Please spend time with your child looking at the spelling patterns and understanding the meaning of each word.

CLASS HIGHLIGHTS
The Great Fire Workshop - (10.10.19 - 11.10.19)
Pupils in Limetree Class enjoyed a superb day taking part in practical activities with a specialist forest schools practitioner last week. The children spent the morning learning about 'The Great Fire' and finding out why it happened and how we prevent such things happening now. They made their own medieval houses and decorated them with paper and paint.
In the afternoon Annie set the models up with a model of St. Paul's Cathedral and demonstrated how the first started and spread through London. She talked about fire safety and how we can stay safe around fire. The children had a great day and asked some excellent questions throughout.
