Key Information This Term 

• Children should wear full uniform and black school shoes each day unless they have PE or Forest School, in which case, they should arrive wearing their kit. They will remain in their kit all day.

• Children should not need to bring pencil cases, PE kits or other personal items to school. Children will be provided with their own stationery for use in school.

• Children should bring a water bottle with their name marked on it.

• Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will be provided with a free meal at lunchtime.

  There will be a choice of hot food and sandwiches each day.

• Staff will encourage hand hygiene and positive hygiene practices throughout the day.

Homework

Each week children will receive a piece of homework. It will normally be set on a Thursday, to be completed by the following Tuesday. If your child is finding any part of it difficult, please ask their Class Teacher who will be happy to help. 

Children in Year 2 should be reading at home for a short time every day. Regular practise really helps them to become confident readers. Children will be responsible for changing and choosing their own books. Please continue to sign the reading record books so that we know that your child has shared their book with you. This is monitored by class teachers.

In warm weather, children can wear black/navy shorts and a plain white t-shirt. In cooler weather, children can wear grey/navy/black leggings/jogging or tracksuit bottoms, a warm top (preferably their school jumper) plus a waterproof coat (no football shirts or multi-coloured kits).

Forest School

Children will have a series of Forest School sessions during the academic year. Your child will need suitable outdoor clothing such as a named waterproof coat, hat, gloves and wellington boots during these sessions. Children are to wear appropriate outdoor clothes to school plus their school jumper or cardigan for the whole day, bringing an additional pair of shoes to wear indoors. Please see the timetable.
