Key Information
Weekly Timetable
Phonics and Reading
Phonics: Please ensure your child's phonics book comes in to school every day so that they have it available when it needs changing. The book changing day will differ depending on which group they are in and where they are in the teaching cycle. We asses the children every half term and we will keep you informed on where your child is and what support you can give them.
Rainbow Read: Children in Teaching of Reading have the flexibility to choose their own books. These can be changed once they have completed reading them.
Reading: We encourage the children to read their book at least 5 times a week. The children are already familiar with the phonics books that have been sent home. This is so that the children can focus on fluency and speed of reading at home.
PE
Bear Class have PE on Tuesday and Thursday.
Please make sure your child is wearing the correct PE kit on PE days. The school PE kit is: trainers, black jogging bottoms, white t shirt and a black jumper or their school jumper. Please also ensure that your child is not wearing any jewellery and that if they have long hair it is tied up.
Library
We visit the school library on Monday. Please can you send your child's library book in to school every Monday. We hope you will then enjoy reading your child's new library book to them when they bring it home!
If your child does not bring their library book in they will not be able to choose a new book to bring home until the following week.
