Our Class

Our doors open at 8.45am each morning. The children are encouraged to come in independently and hang their coat and put their bags in the box. Our school day finishes at 3.15pm.

Physical Education

P.E. sessions will take place on a Tuesday morning. Children can come into school wearing their PE kit that day. 

Reading

Reading books are given out on a Friday. This will match the Read Write Inc group they are in. Regular reading at home is encouraged. Please sign the reading diary and return to school with the book. Feel free to write any comments about how well your child reads or if there was a particular sound or word that they needed support with.

Home Learning

Every Friday there will be 2 Maths IXL tasks set (user names and passwords will be given to you). Children will also bring home phonic flashcards to practise.


Rewards


Throughout the half term children can collect 'dojo' points. When the children get 10 dojos they recieve a sticker. On a Friday there is a reward for the child with the most dojo points for the week. Each week there is a star of the week and 2 lunchtime star of the week.

'Star of the Week' is awarded to a child that has tried hard in all aspects of school, including being kind to others, good work, following instructions etc
The 'Star' will receive a certificate and a pencil. 

Wonderful Weather

It is important for all children to wear sensible footwear and coat as the weather gets wetter and colder. We encourage the children to bring their own welly boots to use outside; these can be passed to a member of staff. When children are this age they are still learning to dress and undress independently, so we ask for them to wear shoes with velcro fastenings so they are easy to take off and put on. Please remember to name all clothing and footwear.
