Welcome to Class Jupiter

Communication

Class Dojo is a brilliant communication tool and used on a regular basis to keep parents/guardians up to date with announcements and messages, as well as posting pictures of classroom activities. It is beneficial that all parents/guardians are set up on Class Dojo. If you require any support with this, then please speak with Mr Saunders.

If you need to contact Mr Saunders, please email saundersb12@hwbcymru.net 

Daily Routines:

Our school gates will be open from 8:40 at Soar Terrace, they will be supervised by staff until the bell rings at 8:50.

Our school day finishes at 3:10 and children will exit on to the yard. If you wish for your child to walk home or to a meeting point, please ask for a consent form.

We advise that children are provided with a water bottle to bring to school and a healthy snack to eat during their morning playtime. Alternatively, fruit can be purchased in school at 25p per piece of fruit.

Homework

Homework will be set every Friday and is to be returned by the following Wednesday so that it can be marked and shared with other children before the new activity is set on the following Friday.
