Reading Books

The children will have three reading practice sessions a week, where they will read a phonetically decodable text selected by the class teacher. This will be taken home with them at the end of the week. Children will each have the opportunity to select a library book of their choice to take home too, these books will be swapped weekly.

Reading Practice books will be changed on a Friday.

Library Books will be changed on a Thursday.

PE Days

This half term our PE days will be Monday and Thursday.

Please remember that your child needs to come to school in their PE kit on their PE days. Children WILL NOT be getting changed in school. Remember: Earrings and other jewellery are NOT to be worn on PE days.

Homework Challenges

Each week 'Homework Challenge' will be sent home linked to the children's learning in school. The majority of this work should be completed by the child, with support and guidance given from adults at home. Don't forget to bring your homework books back on Monday.
