Children are expected to read daily at home and reading records need to be signed. Reading journals should be completed for each reading for pleasure book. Spellings are set every week on EdShed. We also encourage children to practice their times tables on TT Rockstars regularly.
Outdoor PE – shorts and jumper/sweater, t-shirt and trainer (jogging pants can be worn in very cold weather). Indoor PE – close fitting shorts or leggings and t-shirts. Please ensure that your child’s name is on each item and they wear their PE clothes in to school that day as they will not get changed for PE.
Please make sure your child’s name is on their lunchbox. All lunch boxes are kept on the children’s pegs. Children should bring a water bottle to school every day.
Coats should be put on pegs inside/outside the classroom. Please name your child’s coat.
Year 3 children are to line up on the tarmac area between the pitches and the carpark and the teacher will walk them into class at 8:35am. Children arriving after their line but before 8:40am will need to walk to class by themselves.
Drop-Off: 8.30am (lines go in at 8:35am)
Pick-Up: 3:15pm
