Books that need changing

Children can change their book everyday as long as their home reading journal has been signed. Children should put their reading book and journal in the book swap box to be checked by an adult before selecting a new book of their own.

Home Learning

Reading: We encourage children to read to an adult at least 3 times per week.  Little and often is best! Please discuss the texts that you read.

Spellings:  Spelling home learning will be sent home weekly and will be linked closely with phonics learned during the week.  Home learning is set on Purple Mash every Friday and should be uploaded by the following Wednesday.

Times tables:  Please practice times tables regularly.  Please start with 2s, 5s, and 10s before moving on to 3s.

A half-termly home learning jigsaw will be shared on Purple Mash closely linked to the topics covered in class.  Children are to complete a piece each week and it should be uploaded by Wednesday.

PE

Children are to attend school wearing their PE kit on their PE days.  The timetable will be shared with parents the first week in the Autumn term. One session is taken by specialist PE coaches.  Please also send your child into school with a named water bottle every day.

Educational Visits

We are hoping to go on lots of exciting educational visits during the year and would greatly appreciate help to make sure these can take place.

Timekeeping

We have a ‘soft start’ in the morning from 8.40-8.50.  This means that children can enter the school 10 minutes before the official start time.

Children must be at school each morning by 8.50 a.m. for KS1 children. Children are the responsibility of parents/carers before school and should not be in the playground unsupervised before this time.

Pencil Cases/Toys/Keyrings

We kindly ask that children do not bring a pencil case into school as all resources will be provided.  All toys should be left at home.  Children are allowed to have one keyring on their book-bag.

We hope this year is fantastic and we have lots of fun!  If you have any questions then please come and find us.
