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.

You’re Invited: Widey Court Children’s Art Exhibition We are delighted to invite our school community to come and celebrate the creativity of our children at the upcoming Widey Court Art Exhibition. We are proud to share that Widey Court is the first school to be invited to exhibit children’s artwork at Devonport Market Hall - a wonderful recognition of the creativity and talent within our school. From colourful paintings to imaginative designs, the exhibition showcases a wide range of artwork created by our young artists. The exhibition will be open from 14th – 21st February, and we would love families and community members to come along, take a look, and support our children. Opening times are: Monday - Friday, 8.30 - 3.30 Saturday, 9.30 - 4.00 Sunday, 9.30 - 2.00 There is no charge to come and see the exhibitions, but you could pair a visit with a dome screening over half term! (https://www.realideas.org/whats-on) Please join us in celebrating this exciting milestone and the fantastic work of our children—we look forward to seeing you there! 🎨✨ Thank you Mrs Monk for leading and organising this exhibition! We know you are one very proud Art Lead and we are so impressed with the art work that each year group has produced over the past few months as part of our superbly planned art curriculum. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
