Dear Belle Vue Families,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well.
To support you and your family with your child’s learning I have provided an overview of the topics that your child is currently studying. Alongside this, all students have access to a Google site which provides them with their knowledge expert and ambition sheets to help revise the key components of their subject in preparation for lesson and their knowledge expert quiz. Do ask your child to share this information with you.
