Extra Things to Know

Reading Records and Reading Books

We will send a Yellow Reading Record book and reading book home by the end of the first week of term. Please can they both be brought into school everyday so adults can read with your child. Please sign the reading record every time you read. You're aiming to read 5x a week. A little each time. Repetition is great for improving reading confidence so don't worry if you finish the book. You can also make predictions and talk about the characters. There will be 5 raffle tickets for your child put into the weekly prize draw for reading 5x a week and having their reading record signed by an adult. 

Reading books to be changed on FRIDAYS.

TT Rock Stars / MyMaths

The above online learning platforms will be reactivated in September. Your child will bring home log-in details for each account so that they can access these at home. If any get mislaid, please contact us so that we can provide these details again.

Now that your child is in Key Stage 2...

You are aiming for your child to complete: 25minutes across the week of practice on the Timestable Rockstar website Times Tables Rock Stars – Times Tables Rock Stars (ttrockstars.com)

and 2 tasks on the MyMaths website Home - MyMaths

There will be raffle tickets in the weekly draw for those who complete those! 

Snacks / Water bottles

You will need to send your child in with a bottle of water to keep in the classroom as the water fountains are not in use. Please make sure that the bottle is named, as children often bring in the same type of bottle as their peers. A water bottle also helps to prevent the spread of germs and bugs by avoiding using cups in the classroom.

Sadly, in Key Stage 2 free fruit is no longer provided so please send in a healthy snack to keep your child going until lunchtime. A piece of fruit, vegetable sticks or a cereal bar would be perfect.

Weather Conditions

Please remember to provide your child with a coat on days it is needed and also a hat if we happen to have a hot, sunny day. Please also apply sun cream to your child before arriving at school when necessary. Much appreciated.

PE

School uniform PE kits are to be worn to school on the day your child has PE. Term 1 our PE lessons will take place on MONDAYS. Please ensure that your child is sent in with the appropriate kit for that day so that they are able to take part in a fun, interactive lesson! Please also ensure any earrings are removed for these days so that your child can participate. 

In Term 1, we'll also be swimming every Friday so swim kit needed. 

Thank you.
