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.

The children in EYFS celebrated Diwali by having their very own festival of light in the hall! They danced, waved glow sticks and ribbons and most importantly, had lots of fun! After the party, they continued the celebrations by tasting some traditional Indian foods that are often eaten during Diwali celebrations! 🥳 🥘 🌟

On Friday 17th October, we will be taking part in Wear Red Day to support Show Racism the Red Card. Children are invited to come to school in non-uniform with a red theme to show their support for this important cause. This year, the importance of Wear Red Day feels especially significant, as recent events and increased news coverage have highlighted the continuing need to stand together against racism and promote equality, respect, and understanding within our communities.
