Welcome to Vauxhall Bridge Class Parents and Children,
I’m Mrs. Jeevahan-the class teacher and also within the classroom is Mrs. Hunjan and Mrs Preston who are our teaching assistants.
We change our reading books every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. When you read with your child, please write a comment in your child’s reading record book, if there is no comment then we will not change the reading book.
Homework is given on a Friday and is due back the following Wednesday.
We have PE on a Monday and a Wednesday afternoon, so please ensure your child has his/her PE kit at school on these days.
All the children have settled in well and Vauxhall Bridge class team look forward to work with you this academic year!
