Year 5 & 6 Residential<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please remember that the balance for the Edinburgh residential visit, which takes place at the beginning of July, needs to be paid in full by the end of March. If this timescale causes a problem do come and talk to Mrs Sharpe and we will try to organise a revised deadline.<\/p>\n

Reading\/ Spellings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lately staff have noticed that some children are not reading at home often or even at all.\u00a0 This is so important, as although the children are heard to read in school, they also need encouraging\/supporting at home.\u00a0 We would suggest that children read at least four times per week.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t just have to be their school book. \u00a0Comics, newspapers and other books all count.<\/p>\n

Spellings are also an important part of the curriculum, your child brings home a new spelling list each week.\u00a0 We really value parents\/carers support with practising these.<\/p>\n

Clubs<\/strong><\/p>\n

After half-term junior staff will be running a couple of lunch-time clubs.\u00a0 Mrs Cottam will run a Creative Writing Club on Wednesday for years 5 & 6 and Mrs Cook\u00a0 will run a Board Games Club on Friday for years 3 & 4.\u00a0Kirkby Lonsdale Rugby Club will also be running an after school club on Mondays.
