Talk Homework: We feel that this is a really valuable activity and has a very positive impact on the quality of the ‘Friday Write’. There is no need to do any writing or bring in any paperwork.

Fantastic Friday – Friday 18th July

Children who are on packed lunch or home dinners during the week have the option of having a school dinner on a Friday. This is

at a cost of £1.90. The menu is:

Cheese and onion lattice with chips, fish and chips, jacket potato, baked beans, and

small ice cream tub.

Week 1 menu will be served next week.

To be ready for : Friday 18th July 2014

Please talk to your child about the topic for their class. They will

be writing about it on Friday and your discussions will really help.

You could talk about the great ideas and words that they could

use. Thank you.

Reception Focus : Recount. Talk to your child about their year in Reception. Think about best bits and what you’ve learned. Please ensure your child uses past tense to complete their recount of their year in Reception

Year 1 Talk to a grown up about your time in Year 1 – what have you enjoyed the most? What have you become better at?

Year 2 Talk to your grown up about being in Year 2. What did you like? What did you learn? What will you remember the most?
