Key Information:
Guava Spring Timetable
Phonics and ReadingPhonics: Please ensure your child's phonics wallet ( with their books ) comes into school every day so 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 assess the children every half term and we will keep you informed on where your child is and what support you can give them.
Reading: We encourage the children to read their phonics books at least 3 times a week. The children are already familiar with the phonics books that have been sent home. This is so the children can focus on fluency and speed of reading at home.
PE
Guava class have PE on:
Tuesday (inside)
Friday (outside)
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. Please also ensure that your child is not wearing any jewellery and if they have long hair that it is tied up.
Library
We visit the school library on Wednesday. Please can you send your child's library book into school every Tuesday. 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.
Homework and Spellings
Homework: homework is set at the end of a half term and this is sent home on parent mail. The children have all half term to complete the homework; please send this to the class email so it can be celebrated with the children.
Spelling: Spelling tests take place on a Friday and new spellings will be given at this time. If your child gets all 5 spellings correct they receive a spelling bee sticker.
