Key information

Expectations

We have outdoor PE on Tuesday afternoon and indoor PE on a Thursday afternoon, so please make sure you come in your correct kit. Please see the school prospectus for the correct PE kits. Long hair MUST be tied up at all times- not just during PE lessons.

Reading books and diaries need to be in school every day. Our expectation is for the children to read five times per week. It is important to hear your child read regularly and discuss the books with them. Ask them to recall and retrieve information they have read, discuss how characters may be feeling at different stages of a story or look up new vocabulary and use in a sentence. Pupils will receive a stamp on their Starbooks loyalty card every time they have completed 5 reads per week. If they achieve the required number of stamps in a half term, they will choose from a variety of rewards. Their name will then be entered into a raffle to win a £10 Starbucks voucher.

Home learning

It is very important that our children continue to learn their times tables as it underpins many aspects of our maths curriculum. We use Times Table Rock Stars to set weekly tasks and battles to develop the children's knowledge and instant recall of multiplication tasks. We expect children to go on every day for at least 5-10 minutes to practise their tables.

Every week, the children will be given either Maths or English related homework to consolidate learning and extend their skills. These will need to be returned the following Wednesday, so it can be marked and ready for the following day.

Sometimes we may set homework linked to our wider curriculum and will notify you of this.

Once a week, a child will be picked to complete a double page spread on a book of their choice to share with the rest of the class or complete engaging activities with their family to increase fitness by using the Family Fitness Bag.
