General Guidance
PE is every Tuesday Please could we have PE kit in school at all times as lessons may need to be rearranged due to inclement weather. All items of clothing must be clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Whilst every effort is made to see parents at your request it is preferred that parents make an appointment so that any issues can be discussed thoroughly, rather than just before school.
Please ensure your child has one healthy snack for snack time and a water bottle.
If you feel you have any resources to complement any of the units, we would be most grateful to borrow them and use them to support learning, we would be very grateful. Thank you for your continued support
Parent’s Role
Sound Key rings with High Frequency words need to be in every Thursday and will be sent home on Friday, we will send a text each week on the high frequency words we have covered that week. Please ensure you revise these at home regularly with your child to help support rapid recall. Reading books will be changed every Friday, please ensure the reading records are signed in order for us to change them.
