Other useful information
PE:
Our PE days are Tuesday & Thursday. We suggest that the children bring in their PE kits a on a Monday and are left in school for the week, just in case there are any changes. PE kit will be sent home on Friday. Please ensure that all items are clearly named.
Water Bottles:
The children should have a clearly named water bottle in the classroom. This should be a different bottle from their lunch drink and should be WATER only. The bottles should be taken home daily.
Times Tables:
Timestables are essential and we practice daily. The focus to start with is on: x2, x5 and x10, moving on to x3, x4, x6 and x8 when more confident. Please encourage your child to practise these daily including the division facts, building their speed and fluency. You can use their Doodle Maths account, or follow this link Times Tables for more practise.
Outdoor Learning:
Our outdoor learning day is every other Friday. Children should arrive in school in school uniform as usual but with outdoor learning clothes in a bag. This includes bringing long sleeved tops and full-length trousers. They will need to bring a change of clothing including socks, underwear and trainers, to ensure they remain warm during the colder Winter months! Don't forget a hat and sun screen in the hot summer months. Children will change when necessary, depending on the nature of the activity. Not all outdoor activities require a change of clothes. Our dates this year are:

Reading:
This term children will be bringing home a reading record to record all the reading they do at home and school. It must be brought into school EVERY DAY. They are expected to read at home 5 times a week. It needs to be for at least 10-15 minutes. Children also really benefit from discussion about the book they are reading. There are some excellent questions in the reading record to get you started.
