Important Information

Reading books - Please send reading books in on a Monday to be changed. They will go home for the week on a Tuesday. Please write a comment in your child's reading journal each week to let us know how they are progressing at home. The children will also be sent home with a library book that they have chosen. 

Spellings Tests- Spelling tests are on a Friday afternoon. Spellings link to the phonics level that your child is working within. New spelling lists are given out at the beginning of each half term. Please keep these safe and help your child to practise their spellings each week. The children will bring home their test paper from the week before on a Tuesday, to show you how they have done. Tests will be done on our handwriting paper and when marked, may have specific letters highlighted to work on at home. 

PE day - This is on a Tuesday afternoon. Children need an indoor and outdoor kit. Please ensure all items of PE kits are labelled with your child's name. These will remain in school until the end of each term.

Phonics

We are following the Twinkl phonics scheme. Children receive daily, small group, phonic lessons with either a teacher or teaching assistant. Staff are rotated between the groups throughout the year to ensure all children receive quality first teaching. The groups are fluid and children can move groups according to how they are performing in lessons.
