Children will exit from their classroom door onto the playground at 3.15pm.

PE

We have PE on a Tuesday and Friday. Children are expected to come to school in their PE kit. 

*Bottle green shorts

*Black leggings or jogging bottoms for winter months (OPTIONAL). Please have green shorts underneath or in a bag.

Book Bags

 We encourage reading every night with the children at home, even for 5-10 minutes a time.

***Book bags will be given out on Fridays and need to be returned the following Thursday.***

If your child finishes the reading books before the due in date, we stress that you go over the book again for your child to completely master all the different words in it. 

A maths and reading homework will be inlcuded in your child's book bag too. This will be related to work we are completing that week.
