Bentley Weekly Update 20.12.2024
Important Information to ShareOn behalf of all staff, I would like to thank parents and children for their kind words and gifts. It has been a busy term, sadly with lots of illness too. We hope you all recover quickly and enjoy the special time together as a family over the Christmas holidays.
Homework
If you can find a few minutes over the festive period to rehearse some key skills, it would be extremely helpful. It might be reading some new books received as presents, or making use of any pens / pencils to practise our new handwriting and letter formation. Don't forget we have the guides to support you here, Use the password 'hw' to access the page.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful! None for the last week of term Wolves: Hedgehogs: Adders: |
