General information:
PE Days are Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure your child has full P.E. kit (white t-shirt and black shorts) including pumps/trainers and jogging bottoms for outdoor P.E. Also, please remember that earrings need to be taken out on these days or provide suitable tape for covering the ears.
Homework books and spelling books will be given out on Friday and should be returned on or before the following Thursday. In the homework there will be a maths activity and sometimes another task. Additionally, spellings will be sent out in a spelling book for you to practise with your child. Your child will be tested on these each Thursday in the back of their spelling book so you can see how they have done. The school expectation is that your child will read every day at home. Please make sure you sign the home school communication book each day, as your child will receive a reward stamp for reading 5 times.
