Parents’ Evening

Whilst you wait in the corridor for your parents’ evening appointment next week, please feel free to look through your child’s books. You will notice some questions have been printed for you to ask your child about their learning. A great way of getting children to remember their learning is to regularly revisit past knowledge. We are planning in lots of time for children to do this and felt parents evening was an opportunity not to be missed. Please spend a few minutes with your child talking about their learning this half term and you never know you might learn something new too!

We look forward to welcoming parents and carers into the school next week.
