Reading and Homework

Reading is such an important part of your child's development. It helps with many things including their vocabulary, writing, spelling and understanding of the world we live in.

Children in Reception are expected to read for at least 4 times a week and record this in their Reading Record book. Words linked to our current phonics teaching will also be sent home. Additional reading books will also be available on Oxford Owl. Your child's login will be found in their reading diary.

Optional maths homework will be sent home in a scrapbook. Further information will follow regarding this. All completed homework should be returned to school for review.

P.E.

Oak class has P.E. on Wednesday morning.

Elm class has P.E. on Thursday morning.

Please make sure your child has their correct P.E. kit in school on these days and that all item are named.

Communication

We keep you up-to-date and communicate via Class Dojo. Keep an eye on our class story for information on what we have been learning as well as important reminders. If you have any queries or concerns about your child's learning then please do not hesitate to speak to us, either by phoning the school office or sending a private message on Class Dojo.

Keeping Safe

As a school, we take safeguarding very seriously. This includes online safety and we are very aware that many children enjoy playing on tablets, phones and even with Alexa!

Please help us to keep your children safe by clicking on the image below and keeping up to date with tips and ideas to keep children safe on the internet.

Think U Know

Uniform

Please label all uniform including coats, P.E. kit, shoes, hats and jumpers. It is extremely difficult to locate lost uniform if it does not have a name on it. We will be labelling these items if they are not already labelled.
