PE

Your child’s PE days this half term will be Monday and Friday.

Please remember your child must come to school wearing their full PE kit on these days, earrings removed (staff are unable to remove and children will not be able to join in the lesson if wearing earrings)

Home Learning

Thank you for your support with our new home learning format.  It has been wonderful to see the children’s work uploaded onto their portfolios. We will continue with this same format next term. 

As always, if you need any assistance or resources to help with the completion of home learning, please do let a member of the class team know and we will be happy to help.

Reading at Home

Please aim to listen to your child read their school reading book at home 4 times a week (10 minutes per session). 

Please record this on your child’s reading card. The log and reading book must be returned to school each day.

Children will also have a book from the class lending library to enjoy too. However we ask this is not recorded on the Reading Card as this book will be one your child may have picked for you to read with them and is not the reading book matched to their reading/phonic ability.

Maths

Please continue to access TTRS to support their times tables practice, as these form a basis for a good deal of their maths learning and will help them to prepare for their statutory MTC (Multiplication Tables Check) in June 2026.

You can help them to prepare for this using this handy MTC checker using the URBrainy site which can be found at the following website address: https://urbrainy.com/mtc 

Practice along with the fluency practice on their home learning sheet.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding online safety, please do not hesitate to contact a member of your child’s class team for further support and advice.

General reminders:

Please remember to label all your child’s clothing with both names.

If you wish to speak to your child’s class teacher or to arrange a meeting with them, please ring the school office 01782 234868 and they will return your call as soon as possible before/after the school day, messaging on class dojo will not be replied to.

If your child is absent please ring the school or leave a message on Arbor by 9am, holidays are not authorised.

Holidays and  regular poor attendance may involve fines for each parent and involvement from the Education Welfare Officer so we do look forward to seeing your child in school every day unless you have informed us that they are poorly.

See you next time!
