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 have officially launched the start of our ‘in school tooth brushing’ in EYFS! The children have been introduced to the importance of oral hygiene and have been exploring ways to keep our mouths healthy when eating and drinking. We are learning how important it is to brush our teeth regularly. Today, the children followed the instructions of brushing their teeth in school by listening to the brushing song! We were super at remembering our toothbrush symbol and ensuring that it was put back into the right place. Well done EYFS! I am sure we will have pearly whites by the time the Summer comes! 🦷🪥⭐️
