About this year group

Reading books

Children are expected to read daily. If children are on Accelerated Reader then they can quiz and change their book everyday except Wednesday. The quiz will check the children's comprehension of what they have read, so we ask that they read their book at least twice before quizzing. If children are working on the ELS phonics then their reading books will be changed once a week in line with the scheme.

PE

PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. Children should come into school wearing their school PE kit. Trainers should have Velcro until your child can tie their own shoe laces.

Library

Children visit the school library on Wednesdays. They will bring a book home, these books are to share and enjoy rather than the children to read by themselves. Please ensure children return their book every Wednesday so that they can choose a new book.

Spellings

Spelling quizzes take place on Monday, please see the homework section of the website for the weekly words, or check inside your child's homework book.

Homework

Homework is set weekly, please check your child's homework book weekly.

Wednesday afternoon fun on the farm! 🐐🐄🐓🐴🌟 As it’s Nethercott’s 50 years of hosting ‘Farms for City Children’, Michael Morpurgo has donated a book for every child who visits Nethercott Farm this year! The children will choose one and bring it home with them! How great is that? We also sang Happy Birthday over the phone, to Micheal’s wife, Claire, as it was her birthday today! Plus, we pass Michael’s home and writing studio on the tractor ride to Bridgetown! War Horse is set in the neighbouring village of Iddesleigh, which we will walk to on Friday and Farm Boy is set here at Nethercott House! If you have the chance to read these two Michael Morpurgo books - please do! We can now really see why he loves writing about animals! 📚📖📚📖

On Friday April 24th, our school community will come together to recognise and support military families by taking part in Wear Purple for Military Families 💜. This special day is a chance for us to show our appreciation for the strength, resilience, and sacrifices made by children and families connected to the armed forces. Military life can bring unique challenges, including frequent moves, time apart from loved ones, and adapting to new schools and communities. By wearing purple—a colour that represents all branches of the military—we stand in solidarity with our military families. We encourage all students and staff to join in by wearing 'something' purple on the day alongside our school uniform. Whether it’s a jumper, ribbon, socks, or accessories, every splash of purple helps send a powerful message: you are seen, valued, and supported. 💜
