P.E. Reminders

• Our P.E. days are Wednesday and Thursday.
• Ear-rings need to be removed for all sessions.
• An outside PE kit (named) is required as we will still be going outside (unless it is raining or icy) - can be a tracksuit or just a pair of old jog bottoms/leggings and a sweatshirt.
• GIRLS will need socks for PE if they are wearing tights in the winter (an old pair can be kept in their PE bag).
• Swimming lessons will require a towel, goggles (if the children use them) and swim shorts for boys and a one-piece swimsuit for girls (no bikinis). Girls with long hair can wear swim hats if they wish (have a turban towel to wrap hair after if they want) and no jewellery. 
• Forest School learning the children need warm, old clothes that you are fine with getting muddy. A waterproof jacket/coat preferably NOT their school coat and during the winter and spring wellingtons are the best footwear. 
   

Reading Notice 

Children are expected to read at home (where possible to an adult) at least 4 times per week. 

Children are only expected to read a page or two each night, however discussion around prediction and inference (what has happened, what might happen next, why it happened) will assist your child in developing their reading and comprehension skills. 

The initiative introduced by the English lead to encourage reading at home for pleasure throughout the school will continue this academic year.  Therefore for every 5 home reads to an adult (not 5 books just 5 times they read at home) children get a raffle ticket, which will enter them into a draw at the end of the term to win a prize. The children will also receive reading certificates when they hit milestones of 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 home reads. 

Thank you for all of your continuous support.
