General Information

PE

PE is scheduled each Monday (indoor) and Thursday (outdoor). Please read this term's newsletter for more details about what to bring to school. We ask that all items of clothing brought into school be named.

Homework

Spellings -  These should be practised at least twice in the Spelling homework book and submitted by hand each Wednesday. Ideas on how to learn these words will be provided in the front of the spelling books. Children should spend about 20 minutes per week on these spelling tasks. Spellings will be tested each Friday.

Reading - Children are expected to read at home regularly. We still believe it is a positive and beneficial exercise for children to read aloud, so please encourage them to read with parents/grandparents/older siblings when possible.

Reading Scrapbook - Each week, one child will be selected to complete the reading scrapbook. Please return this to school by the following Wednesday so it can be shared with the rest of the class. 

Maths - In Autumn One, weekly challenges will be set on Times Tables Rock Stars.
