General Information

• PE is on Thursday afternoons, please ensure your child comes to school in their full PE kit. Please ensure that all items of PE kit are labelled clearly with your child's name. 
• Weekly focus graphemes and spellings are uploaded to the school website for you to practise with your child. Although there will be no formal spelling test in school, the children will be expected to apply these words and graphemes during their Phonics lessons. Your support in practising them at home would be greatly appreciated.
• Reading packs will be sent home each Friday and are to be returned on Mondays.
• Children are encouraged to read as much as possible at home and can also bring in reading materials that they enjoy reading at home e.g. comics, magazines, recipe books, biographies etc. The children will be given time each day in our 'reading for pleasure time' to read. 
• On the website, you will find homework menus for the children to choose pieces of homework to complete each week and bring into school (or to photograph and bring in).
