P.E

Each class will have a P.E lesson each week.

These will be on the following days:

1V - Tuesday

1DP – Thursday

1G – Friday

Please ensure that your child has a named P.E. kit in school (white t-shirt, blue shorts and black pumps). It is advisable that long hair is tied back and that earrings are not worn on your child’s P.E. days (children will have to wear tape over earrings if they have been left in on their P.E day).

Homework

Homework will be set shortly on Education City. Your child has received individual login details (inside cover of their reading diary) to allow them to access the homework. The activities set will be relevant to the work your child is currently learning and we hope that they will enjoy the process of completing their homework online.

Spellings

Spellings will be given out to the children every half term and will be checked on Fridays. Children will be taught different spelling patterns and rules closely linked to our Phonics lessons at school. Additionally, you can help your child to learn the 'common exception words.' These are the words the children are expected to read and spell correctly. You will find links to the common exception and high frequency words, together with spelling lists, in the section below (useful links).

Reading books

Please hear your child read regularly throughout the week and comment in their reading diary. It is essential that books are sent into school on the following days to enable us to change each child's reading books every week.

1V - Monday

1G – Tuesday

1DP – Wednesday
