PE
We have PE every Monday and Thursday. We ask that your child wears their PE kit to school on these days. Please could earrings be removed and longer hair tied back on PE days. PE kit should include black shorts, a white t-shirt, plimsolls and black tracksuit bottoms or leggings.
Please also ensure that your child has spare clothing in their bags in case of any toilet accidents. These should be kept in school on your child’s coat peg.
COOKING
The children will take part in cooking/food preparation activities throughout this term, learning a range of useful life skills linked to cooking. Food will be consumed in class at our daily snack session.
HOMEWORK
Each week your child’s homework will be to complete 30 minutes of Maths whizz and Reading Eggs which are assessed and monitored weekly. Children will read daily in school as part of their RWI lesson, and we ask that they also read at home three times a week with diaries being read and signed each time. This will help your child to receive their reading sticker, ALSO each Friday each class will be competing for the reading trophy in celebration assembly, the more children that read 3 times a week the more chance we have of winning!
