P.E.
We have P.E. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Children will need to come to school in their PE kit on these days. Children will need a white or green round neck T-shirt, shorts and plimsolls or trainers. They can also come in navy blue or black joggers and jumper/hoodie. Long hair will need to be tied back. If possible, earrings should be taken out. If this is not possible, they should be covered with plasters or micro-pore tape.

Spelling homework will be sent home on a Friday. The children need to complete this by the following Wednesday and they will receive Dojo points for all completed homework.

Reading
Our Open Door continues this half term. You are welcome to come into class with your child on Thursday mornings from 8.40-8.50. You can choose a book to share and then bring it back the following week and swap it for a new one.
We would love the children to read every night at home, and this to be recorded in the children's reading diary. Children will receive a small reward when they have reached 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 nights worth of reading. We expect reading books and diaries to be in school every day. Books are changed every Friday, and weekly reads are counted. Those children who have read at least 4 times during the week will receive 4 Dojo points.
Harvest Festival
We hope you enjoy our Harvest Song!
