PE Days

Our PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please send your child to school wearing their PE kit on these days.

Homework

Each week, the children will receive spelling homework and times table homework. Please check their bags for the homework sheet. This must be completed and handed in to Mrs Gray on Fridays. Games linked to our homework can be found on the Spelling Shed and Times Table Rock Stars websites. The children's login details for these websites are stuck in the back of their planners.

Reading Books

We ask that children read at least three times a week at home. Please sign their planners to let us know that they have read at home. If they have read three times or more over the week, they will receive 2 reading dojos. We have a wonderful selection of books in school suitable for all reading abilities. When your child has finished their book, they can swap it for a new one from the book carousel outside our classroom.

Clubs

We have lots of after-school and lunchtime clubs that your child is welcome to attend. Please see our website for details of the clubs on offer this half-term.
