Here is some important information that you may find helpful...
- Reading books - The children will bring a reading book home. Please encourage your child to share their reading book with you at home, talking about the pictures and starting to read the words when they are ready. Reading books should be returned to school every Wednesday so that they can be changed.
- Snack - Children need to bring a healthy snack to school every day e.g. fruit or cheese. If you send your child in with grapes, please ensure they are cut in half, lengthways. The children will be given milk/water at snack time but please feel free to send in a bottle of water that they can drink it throughout the school day.
- PE - Our PE sessions will take place every Thursday. The PE day may change so please keep an eye on Seesaw and this page for updates. Please ensure that your child arrives at school wearing their PE kit and trainers. They can wear a t-shirt, jacket and shorts or jogging bottoms/ leggings for their PE sessions.
- Homework - The children will be given a home learning challenge every Friday. These are an opportunity for children to share and extend their learning with you at home. Please encourage your child to share their learning with their friends by bringing things in or sharing photos on Seesaw. Your child also has access to Reading Eggs and Mathseeds online which they can use to further develop key skills at home.
- Share Sessions - Our share sessions take place every Friday between 3.15 - 3.30pm. Please feel free to pop in for a chat if you have any questions or concerns.
- Forest/Beach School - The children will access outdoor sessions throughout the year. I will notify you when these will take place!
Over the School Year, we will cover a variety of topics to develop our skills and knowledge as we learn about lots of exciting things!
Topics include: My Wonderful World, Winter Tales and The Park. Please see Seesaw for lots of photos of our learning.
