HOME READING
Please help your child to achieve their full potential as readers by ensuring that they read at home every day. Evidence of reading at home must be recorded in their Reading Diary by an adult in order for their book to be changed in school.
REMEMBER as developing readers it is a good idea for children to read shorter books twice in order to develop both their decoding skills and comprehension.
HOMEWORK
Spellings
Children will be given up to 5 key words to learn at home each week. These will be sent home on a Thursday in the reading diary.
Chilli Challenge
Children will be set regular chilli challenge projects. Details of the next homework project will be sent home shortly.
Outdoor Day
During the autumn term, the children will be taking part in a variety of lessons and activities outside, linked to their class work. These lessons will either be in their outdoor classroom or in the school garden. Children will need to keep a pair of old trainers/wellingtons in school to participate in these activities.
PE
A reminder pupils need to come dressed ready for PE on Wednesday's and Friday's - please ensure pupils wear shorts underneath their joggers so that they can safely use the gymnastics apparatus.
