How you can support us
Reading
Reading with your child is the most important thing you can do to support their learning at home.
Please try and read every day and remember to record it in your child's reading diary.
Your child's Reading Eggs password is on the first page of their reading diary. If you have any trouble signing in online, please ask one of us.
We are all taking part in the Round the World Reading Challenge which allows your child to 'travel' to new world destinations each time they read at home at least three times a week for ten weeks. Don't forget, Reading Eggs will count as a read and make sure you record any additional books you read at home together! Let's get reading!
Homework Project
Your child will bring home a termly homework project based on activities which support our current topic.
The summer term project is based on the Rainforest. Have fun working together and be as creative as you like! Please return the project by week beginning 7th June 2021.
Key Information
Please ensure that you bring your child's school reading book bag back into school daily as this will be used to bring home important letters and it will keep our reading books safe.
Our PE day is Tuesday. On this day we come into school in our PE kit ready for our PE sessions outside.
Your child should bring in a water bottle that is sent home to be thoroughly cleaned each evening.
