P.E Lessons

Children are required to come to school in their full P.E kits on Wednesday and Thursday for our P.E lessons. This will be games on the Wednesday and gym/dance on the Thursday. Our P.E kit consists of a white t-shirt, blue or black joggers and trainers and pumps (trainers for outdoor P.E.) Preferably, children will have a pair of trainers in school to change into when running our daily mile.

Homework

Phonics homework will be set every Thursday and returned to school the following Tuesday. Spellings are set for individual groups throughout the week. Please see the back of your child's yellow spelling book for the day of their test.

Reading should be completed at least 3 times a week. Reading books are to be changed on a Thursday, please refer to the the 'Reading at home' documents below to enhance the reading experience of one book.

Every fortnight, your child will be expected to complete a Fast Learning activity for Geography. In addition, we would like your child to practise their number facts on Numbots for 3 minutes, 5 times a week.
