PE
Class SL will have PE on Wednesday and Friday.
Class RG will have PE on Wednesday and Thursday.
On PE days, children need to come into school in their PE kit.
Please ensure children have suitable named clothing and footwear as PE activities may take place outside. Please remove earrings and ensure hair is tied up on PE days.
Reading
Reading books will be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We ask that you aim to read with your child at least four times a week. When a book is finished, we encourage children to re-read the book to develop their understanding and fluency. You could also ask your child some questions about what they have read. This will help them to develop their comprehension (understanding) of the text. Please keep your child's Home School Link Book safe and record when your child has read so we know if their book needs changing.

Spellings
Every Friday, the children will be given a set of spellings to learn ready for the following Friday. We encourage the children to use the look, say, cover, write and check method. Please make sure spelling books are in school on a Friday.
How you can help:
- Keep reading at home, ideally on a daily basis
- Re-read books to help build confidence and fluency
- Encourage your child to sound out words they do not know
- Practise any spellings or key words sent home
- Access the books, games and resources on Oxford Owl (Floppy Phonics)
