If you need anything printed off you can use the computers at school, before and after school and at lunch times. You can email your teacher and they will print it off for you. The public library is a great resource. Please do not feel the need to purchase paper for your child’s homework; we have plenty at school so just ask your teacher. This is not compulsory however we do encourage all children to have a go.  If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us. Have fun!  (The children worked together with their teachers to add homework activities that they would enjoy doing this term.)
