Things to Note:
- PE - Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays. PE may be inside or outside this term so please ensure children arrive at school dressed in their PE kit on PE days.
- Swimming - On Mondays we will be going swimming. Please ensure your child comes to school with their swimming kit.
- Homework - You will have a grid of activities based on our topic sent home via email at the beginning of the half term. You can complete as many as you would like.
- Reading - Please continue to read with your child on a weekly basis and ensure children have their reading books and reading records in every day. Please use the reading comprehension bookmark sent home to ask your child questions about what they are reading. Children should read to an adult at home at least three times a week.
- Times Tables - Times tables test will take place on a weekly basis, please ensure you continue to practice these.. Although we support this through our learning in school as well as weekly tests, home practise is vital! TT Rockstars should be completed at least three times a week.
