Important class information

PE: This takes place on a Tuesday afternoon with Mrs Findlay. Please send your child with their PE kits in a named bag so they can get changed before the PE lesson. Please remove all jewellery and ensure long hair (boys and girls) is tied back. 

Autumn term will be dance and gymnastics inside, so please send a white t shirt and black shorts. They will do the lessons in bare feet. 

Reading
Please listen to your child regularly, at least 3 times a week, and record this in their reading record. Reading is about listening to your child, their fluency and their understanding, so please ask lots of questions and discuss the books together. I encourage you to read a wide range of other books too. Please feel free to write these in your reading record as well. 

We are following the Little Wandle phonics scheme in school. In school I will listen to your child read a decodable book 3 times a week. This book will be sent home on a Friday to read with parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles! We also visit the library on a Friday so your child can choose a book to bring home and enjoy. 

Homework
This will be given out on a Friday and will need to be completed and returned on a Thursday.

Spellings
These are linked with the phonics and spelling rules your child is learning. They are handed out on a Friday and need to be returned on a Thursday. Please learn these at home.
