Spelling Folders and Afterschool clubs

Hi all,

Last week the children were given their spelling folders for the year. Each week the children will put their new spellings into the folder and then when they receive their spelling tests these will also go into the folder. 

We have put the tests to date into the folders but I have not put their practice sheets in yet as some children have them at home/ in homework folders etc. If you have any of these sheets they can be added into the folder in the same pouch as that week's test. 

The children were given forms for various afterschool clubs last week. These teachers are asking for the forms and money back ASAP as spaces are limited. 
These forms are to be given directly to the teacher in charge of the club and not to the office.
