PE
Could we remind parents that children need to come into school on a Tuesday in their P.E kit – pumps/trainers, white t-shirt and black shorts. As the weather becomes colder, children should wear black leggings/tracksuit bottoms and school jumper. All kit needs to be named.
Reading: Could parents please sign to say they have heard their child read. Some children are changing their books and we are unsure if they have read some of it, all of it or not at all. From now on books can only be changed if the reading record has been signed.
Spelling homework: Reminder – Children are to copy the list three times then write two sentences that incorporate the spellings on their list. It is more beneficial if the children do it over several days rather than all in one go. Revisiting helps to embed it more
