PE days: Tuesday and Wednesday
Kit consists of black shorts or joggers and a white t shirt. If needed children can also wear a black hoody. These should be plain without logos.
Children also take part in swimming in the Spring and Summer term on a Wednesday, with each class alternating each half term. Children require a swimming costume (no bikinis) or swimming trunks/shorts, goggles and swim cap if necessary, and a towel.
Home Learning
Homework will consist of a reading comprehension, maths linked to the week's learning and spellings. These will be sent home on a Friday and due back on Tuesday.
Reading expectation is that children are heard read at home at least 3 times a week, and the reading diary to be dated and signed by an adult, stating which pages the child has read.
Introducing Book Club
Book Club replaces Guided Reading. Each week, children will listen to or read parts of the book and then have tasks related to what they have read, be it retrieval of facts, vocabulary work or summarising events. We hope the children will enjoy these sessions and gain comprehension skills to work more independently.
