Mr Govinden: Invasion games: basketball.

RE- we will be looking at Judaism in the summer term.

SATs

This week is SATs week. We will be doing the maths calculating paper, a reading paper and the Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPaG) paper this week. Next week we will be taking the maths reasoning paper and the other reading paper.

It is important to ensure that your child comes to school with a water bottle every day: particularly over this period. They must keep hydrated.

Please come and see me in the playground if you have any queries about the year 2 SATs.

Important information

Hungerford Class will be beginning their SATs tests on the week beginning 15^th May. We have decided to spread ours across a two week period to avoid overloading the children. This should help them to perform as well as they can. We will be doing the tests in the mornings.
