Physical Education (PE)
Our PE days are every Monday and Wednesday.
Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit, which consists of a plain T-shirt (white or house colours), 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 at least 2 Mathletics tasks, a set of spelling words (written and on Spelling Shed), Reading 10/15 minutes a day and practice on TTRockstars. Please return the homework on Thursday so that it can be checked.
Reading and Reading Records
We expect your child to read every day. Your child's reading book and record must be brought in every day to be checked by an adult. Reading is such an important part of your child's development so please prioritise this task.
