Homework and Reading

Reading is the most important aspect of learning! Make sure you read the books we send home more than once and try to ask your child questions about the story to help build their comprehension skills. Every time your child reads, you (or whoever has read with them) must sign the the reading record book so we can then change the book when it arrives in school.

Homework is very important. We give homework that consolidates learning from the classroom so please try to make sure the book comes back in so we can put in new work to ensure your child makes progress. Homework is given on a Friday and expected to be back in by the following Thursday.

Names on Uniform

In order to avoid any confusion (particularly during PE lessons!), please make sure that every piece of your child's uniform, book bag and PE kit has their name or initials in them.

Snack

All children are entitled to a fruit snack which is provided for them during morning playtime. 

PE

Water

Each child has access to a water bottle and fresh water throughout the day and are encouraged to drink frequently to keep hydrated. 

Open door policy

Communication between teachers and parents is important, if you have anything you wish to talk about with Miss Healey then please wait to see me at the end of the day or make an appointment at the school office.

Keeping you informed
