Useful information

Our PE days are: Monday and Wednesday

  - Please provide both an indoor and outdoor kit fully named.

EVERYDAY children will need to bring in their:

Reading book

Reading Diary

(We have volunteers read with children on different days, so please ensure the above is always in school). 

PE kit (this can stay in school)

Coat

Water Bottle (Water bottles should be taken home each day to be cleaned).

We encourage children to eat the fruit provided by school. Therefore, we ask for NO snacks to be bought into school for playtime. Thank you.

 

Book Club: Every Monday your child will take part in 'Book Club'. They will discuss the book they took home the previous week  (where applicable) and share their views with their peers. Then they will select a new book to bring home and share for the week. This is for you to read together, this may be above phonics levels and therefore they will need you to read this to them. 

HOME LEARNING: We encourage children to read regularly. Our school policy is a minimum of 4 times per week. This includes the reading of the decodable phonics book sent home by school and wider reading that you and your child share. Any reading that your child completes can be noted in the diary as a read - this includes magazines, comics, library books (shared with an adult) , Kindles etc. 

 

P.E. Kit

Please provide your child with the following P.E. kit, as they will be taking part in some outdoor P.E. throughout the winter.- T-shirt (house colour or white only), shorts, tracksuit bottoms, sweatshirt or hooded top, trainers/pumps.

Please bring your kit to school on a Monday of the first week, and it will be returned home during the final week of each half term. Please ensure children have their kits in school on these days and all jewellery is removed or covered.
