P.E days are Monday and Thursday. Please come in P.E kit on these days. We start with multi-skills and running. 

Homework

Reading three times per week for 20 minutes but every day if possible! Please record in your child's Reading Diary. Spellings will be posted in the reading diary every week and there will be a QR coded picture book for you to enjoy too

Spellings for all children will be sent home on a Monday based on the phonics learning that week or on "tricky words" that can't be sounded out. It is important that they are practised at home. Spell checks will be completed the following Monday before the new week's words are sent home.
