Here is some important information that you may find helpful...

Reading days - The children have allocated reading days, however, please ensure that you send your child's book bag in every day. You will find your child's reading day on the sticker placed on their reading record.
Snack - You are encouraged to send a piece of fruit in for snack with your child every day. 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 will 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. They can wear a t-shirt, jacket and shorts or jogging bottoms for their PE sessions.
Homework - The children will bring home their Learning Logs on a Friday. Please can these be returned on Wednesday the following week. This gives us time to mark their work, share it with the class and prepare the next set of activities. It is important that you support your child to complete their enquiry tasks. Some enquiry tasks may be set online via Purple Mash, Reading Eggs or MathsSeeds.
Share Sessions - Our share sessions take place every Wednesday between 3.15 - 3.30pm. Please feel free to pop in for a chat if you have any questions or concerns.
Forest/Beach Schools - 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. We will have the opportunity to go on trips to enrich our learning experiences.

Throughout the year we learn about lots of exciting things! Please have a look below to find out more...
