Key information

Arrival/collection

Our arrival time each morning is 8.45-9.00am and we leave at 3.15pm.

What to bring to school

The children should bring in a water bottle which they will take home each day as well as their packed lunch (if they do not receive a school lunch). They do not need any other equipment such as pencil cases, stationary etc as they will have everything they need at their own desk.

Snacks

Children are allowed to bring a ‘healthy’ snack to school for breaktime. However, this must be either a piece of fruit or breakfast/cereal bar. Thank you for your cooperation.

PE days

Our PE days are:

1st half term - Tuesday (Dance), Wednesday (Tag Rugby), Friday (Swimming)

2nd half term - Tuesday (Gymnastics), Wednesday (Forest School)

On these days, the children should come into school wearing their PE kit. PE kit consists of: trainers, white PE t-shirt, purple shorts or plain black tracksuit bottoms, purple hoodie or purple school jumper.

When participating in forest school sessions on a Wednesday afternoon (2nd half term) your child must wear their PE kit (no shorts) and sturdy boots.

For swimming lessons, the children come into school wearing their school uniform and bring a backpack holding their towel, swimming costume/trunks and goggles.

Homework

Spellings

Spellings will be posted on Class Dojo each week. It would be great if the children completed fun activities at home and we will be learning these spellings in class throughout the week.
