Useful Information:
PE
Our PE sessions this year will be on Fridays.
Children are to come to school wearing their PE kits. Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather. Our school PE kit consists of dark-coloured plain shorts or tracksuit bottoms, plain white T-shirt, trainers for outside. A sweatshirt can also be worn in colder months.
Hair should be tied back and no jewellery should be worn.
Forest School
Forest School will take place for Year 1 on Tuesday afternoons, during Autumn 2, Spring 2 and Summer 2. The children are able to come to school in their Forest School clothes: suitable trousers, a long sleeved top, waterproof clothing and appropriate footwear (e.g. trainers, wellies or walking boots). Please make sure that their clothing is weather appropriate (e.g. extra layers in the winter) as we will go out whatever the weather!
Reading Books
Reading books will be changed once weekly. Please make sure that your children's reading books are in their bag each day, as we will read with them whenever we are able to.
Homework
Homework will be sent home on a Friday. This will usually consist of a maths activity, and an email incorporating a sound video from our phonics learning. Children also have access to NumBots. They can use this site to practise their core maths skills, by completing a variety of short activities. They should aim to practise for a few minutes each day, if possible.
