Homework
Children will normally receive Spellings, Timetables, Maths and English homework on a Thursay which should be completed and returned to school the following Tuesday to be marked.
If your child is finding any part of it difficult, encourage them to use a dictionary or the internet for help. Alternatively, they can ask their Class Teacher who will be happy to help!
PE
Children will have PE twice a week.
Year 2 – 6 children will have PE outdoors and therefore will need to wear their outdoor PE kit to school. They do not need to bring their school uniform to school. In warm weather, children can wear black/navy shorts and a plain white t-shirt. In cooler weather, children can wear grey/navy/black leggings/jogging or tracksuit bottoms, a warm top (preferably their school jumper) plus a waterproof coat (no football shirts or multi-coloured kits).
Forest School
Children will have a series of Forest School sessions during the academic year. Your child will need suitable outdoor clothing such as a named waterproof coat, hat, gloves and wellington boots for these sessions. Children are to wear appropriate outdoor clothes to school plus their school jumper or cardigan for the whole day, bringing an additional pair of shoes to wear indoors. Please see the timetable above.
