Physical Education (PE)
Our PE days are every Tuesday and Wednesday.
Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit, which consists of a plain t-shirt, plain joggers/shorts and a plain jumper. Trainers are also allowed. Your child will stay in their PE kit for the whole day.
Homework
Homework will be set every Friday, and will consist of a Mathletics task, a set of spelling words on Spelling Shed and TTRockstars. Please return the homework the following Friday, so it can be checked. Also, there will a pick and mix homework menu for the children to complete by the end of Autumn term.
Reading and Reading Records
We expect your child to read every day. Your child's reading record must be brought in every Monday and Thursday to be signed. Reading is such an important part of your child's development, so please prioritise this task.
