Important information –
PE – Wednesdays and Thursdays
Forest School – Alternate Mondays. We shall endeavour to go out in all weathers. If your child has waterproof trousers or something similar, that would be really helpful. We are happy to store your child’s wellies at school during term time so we can venture out onto the field for welly walks, if you have a spare pair.
Library – We shall visit our school library every Wednesday. Please ensure you return your child’s loaned book on a Wednesday morning so they can return it and borrow a new one.
Reading – Please listen t your child read every night and make a comment in their reading record. Reading makes the biggest impact on your child’s progress in all areas of their learning. We use the children’s reading book in class daily so please ensure that it is packed in your child’s bag.
Uniform – Please label everything! It is very difficult to return your child’s belongings otherwise.
