Reading

Pupils will be issued with a reading book to take home and one which can be kept in their school trays. Pupils are asked to bring their books back every Wednesday and will be changed once completed. Books will be sent home again on a Friday. Please encourage your child to develop good reading habits by reading regularly at home. Pupils should read a variety of texts including fiction and non-fiction, and joining the local library will offer a wider range of books. There will be a reward system in place in class to encourage pupils to read as often as they can. 

Guided Group Reading sessions will take place every day in class to continue to develop our reading and comprehension skills.

Oxford Reading Buddy is a digital reading service, to provide a wider selection of books for our children to read. Sign-in cards can been sent home and the site can be accessed on most devices. As well as reading books, the site develops comprehension skills through fun quizzes and offers badges/ rewards on completion. Once again, please use this website to promote wider reading at home.

PE

PE is every Wednesday and Friday

On Wednesday we have Indoor PE.  Children need black shorts or leggings and a white t-shirt. 

On Friday we have PE outside. Children should wear joggers, t-shirt, jumper and spare shoes. 

Earrings are not permitted to be worn for PE sessions and must be removed by the pupil or before coming to school. 

Long hair should be tied back and all hair accessories removed.

We participate in the Daily Mile where we run approximately 1 mile, come rain or shine!
