P.E.
We have P.E. on Monday (Multi Skills) and Friday (Dance). Children will need to come to school in their PE kit on these days, unless the Monday is their Forest School day (see dates above). 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.
Homework will be posted on Weduc every Friday. This may be a link to an activity on Education City or a spelling activity. The children need to complete this by the following Wednesday and they will receive a stamp on their Bear Hunt Sheet for all completed homework.
Reading
Our Open Door day is Tuesday. You are welcome into the classroom with your child at 8.40 to choose and share a book with them. This can be taken home and returned at Open Door the following week and you can then choose a new book!
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.
