Uniform
We ask that you regularly check that all clothing is clearly named, especially jumpers and coats, including their PE kits. The children need a sun hat particularly in hot weather. It is essential they have a coat each day as we like to get the children out at playtime every day, even in light rain!
Homework
The expectation is the children will read daily at home and work on their times tables. They will have access to Times Table Rock Stars to help with this. Login details will be written in their reading records. We will have a spelling focus each week – a selection of words will be sent home every Wednesday for the children to learn in preparation for a spelling test the following Wednesday. There will also be optional, fun topic themed homework tasks, which will be sent home termly.
Belongings
Pencil cases-Your child is welcome to bring in their own small pencil case, which they are responsible for, however, every child will be provided with all the stationary they need.
Food & Drink
Snack at break time – Please can the children bring in their own piece of fruit or a healthy snack for their morning break. This is no longer provided by the school.
Drinks – Each child will need to bring in a named water bottle to drink water throughout the day. They may have a different drink to have with their lunch if they choose to.
PE & Outdoor Learning
P.E – Our class will have PE lessons each week, on a Monday and Wednesday with Mr Westhorpe and Mrs. Reid. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit and has suitable clothes for an outdoor PE lesson – trousers and a jumper.
Forest School – Our Forest school day is on a Tuesday with Miss Gates. Your children will need to come to school prepared for outdoor learning. Trousers, jumpers, waterproof coats and trousers. They will need to bring suitable shoes/ wellies they can change into. Again, please make sure all their belongings are named.
