A busy term and of course Christmas things as well!

Things you can do to help your child to learn well in school:

encourage good organisation and have good routines in place
spend time reading together daily
ensure your child does their homework
help your child to be organised eg make sure their PE kit is in school and water bottle.

A little note on homework - reading daily will benefit your child in so many ways and is a great time to snuggle up together. Working on their passports and helping them to practise their times tables and spellings will have a great impact on how they feel in the classroom.

Please do come and ask if you are unsure of any of the homework set.

We hope you check this page frequently to keep up to date with the learning in Pegasus!
