Additional Information - Class Dojo

We use a communication tool with parents called Class Dojo. It is an app that you can download and keep up to date with school news and your child's learning. We post pictures often of what has been happening in class. We will also post homework on here and ideas about how to support your child's learning at home. This programme also allows your child to earn dojo points by demonstrating positive behaviour in school.
