Keep on Reading - become a ‘Fiver’. Keep on Writing - Enter the Christmas handwriting competition. Keep on Counting - learn those ‘Learn

Its’ and practice those Times Tables. Arrive at school for 8.45am ready to

start lessons promptly at 9.00am. Check all clothes are clearly labelled. Make sure PE kit is in school everyday. Girls should tie their hair back when

in school to reduce incidences of headlice and for safety reasons.

No boots to be worn please. Plain black/navy school shoes only.
