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. On Tuesdays, 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.
On Fridays, the children should come to school wearing their School uniform and bring their swimming kit into school in a large, waterproof bag.
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.
