A few reminders

Reception have PE on Wednesdays and Thursday.  All children should come in dressed in their PE kits on both days.

Please provide your child with a coat if the weather requires it. As it gets warmer please put sun cream on and bring a sun hat. Your child must have a change of clothes in school. PLEASE ENSURE EVERYTHING IS LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME

Please remember a named drink bottle every day.  We encourage all children to bring a water bottle to class, which they can refill at regular intervals during the day in order to keep themselves well hydrated and to keep their brains working to the best of their ability.

If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with us then please do drop into the office to make an appointment to see us, we are more than happy to meet with you to discuss any issues. 


Home learning

Homework helps to reinforce the learning that has gone on in school during the week.  Immersing your child in reading is the most important thing.  Children should read at home with an adult at least 5 times a week and this should be recorded in your child's home learning journal. Children are expected to bring their home learning journal and school reading books to school every day.
