Ongoing information and organisational details.
- Please ensure children have a coat and water bottle in school EVERY DAY. On sunny days, hats are essential for safety.
- Our PE lessons are Tuesday with 360 Sport and Thursday with Miss M. This may change later in the year. Children should come into school in PE kit (shorts under tracksuit bottoms) with a school sweater or sports hoody over the school t-shirt. Please make sure that earrings are removed. If children are unable to remove due to new piercings/infection please tape over fully at front and back with micropore.
- We are not using the recreation ground in Term 1 so no football boots etc are needed.
- Children can have a snack for mid morning break.
Home-learning is posted onto our Class Dojo page each week.
READING:
- Each child will have a reading book in school. Another reading book and free-choice 'Love of Reading' book can be scanned out of our class library and brought home.
- The return date for reading books is MONDAY only. Children put their returned items in our class book quarantine.
- We ask that ALL children read with an adult at least 3 times a week and ideally do daily independent reading. This year we are not using home-school 'reading records'. Instead we will post a weekly reading portfolio activity. If parents post a photo OR a journal note confirming the child has read a minimum of 3 times in the week we will reward with a dojo housepoint.
SPELLING:
- Personal spelling targets will be sent home so that children can practice words that do not follow the spelling rules we teach in class. Children easily forget these words - even if they seem to have secured them previously. Hence use spelling strategies from our dedicated page and practice regularly.
- Target tests will happen every month and new targets set as necessary.
