P.E./P.E. Kit
P.E takes place on Tuesday afternoon; please make sure your child has blue/black
shorts or jogging bottoms, a white T-shirt and black plimsolls. Please add their
name to the inside labels so we do not lose garments during changing. Your child will
need a bag to carry their kit and hold their uniform when they have changed for
P.E.
Homework
Homework is based on tasks the children have been working on during the week. If
you need advice on helping your child for their homework, please contact your
childs teacher. Homework is usually set at the end of the week but occasionally a
short activity might be given which is linked to the following days work.
When spelling is set, the pupils will be tested on the words given. Please ensure
that your child practises any spelling they are given and learn to use the words. We
will continue to use My Maths Online for homework alongside curriculum activities
which we have been focusing on in class.
Reading/Library Books
Please encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes a day and
discuss events that take place in the story. Ensure all books are
kept in the book bag and that they are returned to school weekly. All
library books must be returned on time and we would like to remind
you that damaged books will incur a fine, usually the full cost of the
book.
