 Start and Finish Times

Year 3/4 will enter via the main door. At the end of the school day, we will access the playground via the corridor next to the hall.

What should my child bring to school?

Children can bring a small bag or book bag to school.  They will be provided with their own stationery but are welcome to bring their own small pencil cases. 

School Uniform & P.E.

Children will wear school trousers/shorts and black shoes, school polo shirt and jumper as part of the school uniform.

Our PE days are (Tuesday and Friday)

Children are asked to bring their PE Kit (White Tshirt, Black Shorts/Leggings/jogging bottoms and pumps or trainers) in a drawstring PE bag which can be left in school.  The children are welcome to take this home on a Friday for washing or leave it in school for the half term.

Those children doing PE club on a Friday morning may come in PE kit so need to bring uniform to wear after.

Please make sure ALL items of your childs uniform is labelled with their name (including outdoor wear such as coats and forest school items). 

Homework

Reading.   Children need  to be reading at home for at least 15 minutes, three times each week and recording this in their diaries. To ensure that they choose suitable books, we have adopted the Accelerated Reader system. Books now have a number rather than a colour band.

Spellings.  Spellings are given out every Monday and are tested the following Monday. Please see the tab at the top of the page for the weekly spelling lists.

Maths.  Maths homework is given out every Thursday and is handed in the following Thursday. Children are to have a good go at the questions. If there are any questions that they are not sure about, we will cover them in class.
