About this year group

Reading books

Children are expected to read daily. If children are on Accelerated Reader then they can quiz and change their book everyday except Wednesday. The quiz will check the children's comprehension of what they have read, so we ask that they read their book at least twice before quizzing. If children are working on the ELS phonics then their reading books will be changed once a week in line with the scheme.

PE

PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. Children should come into school wearing their school PE kit. Trainers should have Velcro until your child can tie their own shoe laces.

Library

Children visit the school library on Wednesdays. They will bring a book home, these books are to share and enjoy rather than the children to read by themselves. Please ensure children return their book every Wednesday so that they can choose a new book.

Spellings

Spelling quizzes take place on Monday, please see the homework section of the website for the weekly words, or check inside your child's homework book.

Homework

Homework is set weekly, please check your child's homework book weekly.

We are incredibly proud to announce that our school has retained the National Wellbeing Award for Schools — a recognition that reflects the care, compassion, and commitment shared by every member of our community. ⭐️💚 This achievement belongs to all of us — our dedicated staff, supportive parents and carers, and, of course, our wonderful pupils who make our school such a positive and nurturing place every day. Thank you for your continued effort, kindness, and belief in the importance of wellbeing for everyone. We work in a school where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to thrive. A special shout-out of thanks to Miss Dingley, Mr Rea, Mrs Dawes (one of our Governors) and our Year 6 Heads and Deputies who played a very special part in talking to the assessor online today! Congratulations to our entire school community on this wonderful achievement - today and everyday! 💚⭐️
