PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays.  Badgers will need to come to school dressed in their PE kit please.

Homework is set on Fridays and should be handed in on Wednesdays.  However, during our busy summer term, some homework will be concentrated on learning lines and making preparations for our exciting summer term performance.  Spellings and times tables will be tested on Fridays and Reading Journals will be collected in every Thursday.
