Any other information
Homework will be given out on Wednesdays and expected back on the following Monday. I have asked the children to check they understand their homework before the weekend so they can ask me or Mrs Perkins on either Thursday or Friday if there is something they need help with.
The class calendar on Studywiz is regularly updated. Now (at last!) the dates and days tally correctly so there should be no confusion.
If you need to get in touch for any reason at all, I can be contacted in the usual ways: by letter, in school, via email (p.west1@barnsley.org) or via Studywiz.
