PE
PE will take place every Monday and Thursday, when you will complete some dodgeball and health related fitness.
For PE sessions please bring the following:
- Black shorts, legins or jogging bottoms
- White t-shirt or polo shirt
- Black pumps or trainers
It is usually best to leave your child's PE kit in school for the half-term so that it is always available to use.
Reading
It is important that your child brings their reading book into school each day as the days on which they will be able to read with an adult may change from time to time. It is also crucial that you listen to your child read each evening and ensure that you sign their reading record, highlighting what they have read and how they performed.
Within this class, the children should complete an Accelerated Reader quiz after they have finished reading a book. This will be brilliant for building their word count! Afterwards, they will be able to change their reading book.
Homework
Homework will be set on a Tuesday through our online learning platform, SeeSaw. A link for which is placed below:
All homework should be completed by the following Monday and will be checked by your teacher on this day. Please make sure that if you are having difficulties with the homework, that you contact your class teacher with plenty of time so that they can assist your child in its completion. In addition, the school also run a homework club which can really help support those children that struggle completing their tasks independently.
