Dear Parent/Carer,

I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying this rather unseasonal, beautiful weather we have had this week! 

I hope that you found the presentation information helpful this week too and please do remember that if you have any further questions, please contact me: mrs.sant@goostrey.cheshire.sch.uk

This week's book of the week is 'Wish You Were Here' by Martina Selway.

Our summer holiday homework details are also available below so take a look if you need a little reminder.

We use our Year 3 class webpage to keep families informed with what's going on.  Please do take the time to check this for regular weekly updates about our learning in class, as well as notes and important dates for the coming week.  These can be found under the "News Items" link below. 

This year, the first meeting of our brilliant PTA will take place on Tuesday 13^th September at 7pm (venue TBC either school or The Crown) and everyone is welcome to discuss the year ahead and how we can best support the school and raise as much money as possible for all our pupils.
