Please ensure that your child has a water bottle in school everyday filled only with water.

They also need to bring in a named waterproof coat and a jumper or cardigan in case we have wet and/or cold days.

A fruit snack is provided in school but there often isn’t a huge choice so if you would prefer to send your child in with a snack please make sure that it is only fruit or cheese and crackers.  

Weekly timetable

Mondays:

• Read Write Inc books to be changed in school – please ensure bookbags are in school.

Thursdays:

• Swimming – Please send your child to school with their full, named swimming kit (a named hat, towel, goggles and swimming costume in a swimming bag).

Fridays:

• Home learning will be published on Google Classroom.

Current home-learning expectations

Reading: Your child’s reading pouch will be needed in school every Monday. We ask that you read for 10 minutes every evening so that each reading book is read three times. We change Library books and RWI reading books on Mondays. 

It is also very important to share a range of children’s stories to expand your child’s vocabulary as well as promoting a life-long love of reading. We love hearing their recommendations too!

Please see Google Classrooms for your child’s home learning which changes each Friday. These will either be speed sound videos or spellings depending on your child’s phonics group.
