PE
PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday for the first half of each term, and then just Tuesday for the second halves. Please send children in on these days wearing their PE kits.
What to bring to school (Water Bottles, Snack)
Water Bottle - please ensure that this is clearly labelled and only contains water, no juice or squash. We will encourage drinking throughout the day and have taps where pupils can refill their bottles in class.
Morning Snack - this should be fruit or vegetables please. We also ask that grapes are cut in half to limit the risk of choking.
Please do not send toys into school (where there may be a specific need, please contact your child’s teacher).
Homework
Homework grids will be added to the website and shared on the Google Classroom with each new topic. Children may complete these tasks as and when they like and these can then be shared with us via the Google Classroom or over email.
Reading Books
In Reception, we encourage a love of reading and for children to read or be read to at home as much as possible. Pupils generally start taking home book bags throughout the Spring & Summer terms. When your child starts bringing home a book bag they will read once a week in school, once they have read, pupils can take their book home to practise. Alongside their reading book, pupils can also take home a second book for that week from our Reception library if they would like to.
Google Classroom
Our Google Classroom is accessed using your child's Hwb log-in and password. Please email your child's class teacher if you do not recall your log-in details. Information and homework will occasionally be shared through the classroom, so please check in regularly.
Additional Information
We enjoy learning outdoors as much as in, so we do ask that you bring in some waterproof clothes (eg an all-in-one suit) and a pair of wellies for the Autumn & Spring terms.
Please ensure ALL clothes brought into school are labelled.
