• All children may bring a healthy snack;
• Encourage your child to be prepared for the school day with the correct equipment.
Educational aspects:

• Encourage your child to research other words that match the week’s spelling rules, as well as learning the words sent home
• Mathematics, encourage your child to practise the 4 operations (+, -, ÷, x), learn tables and use mathematical skills in everyday life, eg time and money.
Communication with your child’s class teacher can be made informally via the class email account (e.g. 3nm23-24@chalkwellhall.co.uk). If you wish to make a longer appointment, please telephone the school office and a phone call can be arranged at a mutually convenient time.
