Key information

 

Arrival/collection

Our arrival time each morning is 8.45-9.00am and we leave at 3.15pm. 

What to bring to school

The children should bring in a water bottle which they will take home each day as well as their packed lunch (if they do not receive a school lunch).  They do not need any other equipment such as pencil cases, stationary etc as they will have everything they need at their own desk.

PE days

Our PE days are a Tuesday and a Friday for the first half term. On these days, the children should come into school wearing their PE kit. They do not need to bring in their normal school uniform to get changed into, they will just stay in their PE kit all day. PE kit is: trainers, white PE t-shirt, purple shorts or plain black tracksuit bottoms, purple hoodie or purple school jumper. 

Our PE days will be a Wednesday and a Friday during the 2nd half term.

Homework

 

Spellings

Spellings will be posted on Class Dojo and children will have the same list for 1 week. It would be great if the children completed fun activities at home and we will be learning these spellings in class throughout the week.

Reading

The children are encouraged to read a variety of texts at home and share a love of reading with parents.  There will be an opportunity to change library books every Wednesday.
