Reading and Homework

Reading is such an important part of your child's development. It helps with many things including their vocabulary, writing, spelling and understanding of the world we live in.

Children in Reception are expected to read their reading book from school or work on tasks linked to their phonics targets, for at least 4 times a week and record this in their Reading Record book.

Keep an eye out on Class Dojo for extra tasks that we may set linked to our topics and themes that you can complete as a family and share with us in school.

P.E.

Oak class has P.E. on Wednesday morning.

Elm class has P.E. on Thursday morning.

Please make sure your child comes to school in their school PE kits on these days, including their house coloured t-shirt and plain black pumps or trainers.

Communication

We keep you up-to-date and communicate via Class Dojo. Keep an eye on our class story for information on what we have been learning as well as important reminders. If you have any queries or concerns about your child's learning then please do not hesitate to speak to us, either by phoning the school office or sending a private message on Class Dojo.

Keeping Safe

As a school, we take safeguarding very seriously. This includes online safety and we are very aware that many children enjoy playing on tablets, phones and even with Alexa!

Please help us to keep your children safe by clicking on the image below and keeping up to date with tips and ideas to keep children safe on the internet.

Think U Know

Uniform

Please label all uniform including coats, P.E. kit, shoes, hats and jumpers. It is extremely difficult to locate lost uniform if it does not have a name on it. We will be labelling these items if they are not already labelled.
