Key information
Arrival/collection
Our arrival time each morning is 8.45-9.00am and we leave at 3.10pm.
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.
PE days
Our PE days are normally Thursday and Friday. On these days, the children should come into school wearing their PE kit. They do not need to bring in their normal school uniform to get changed into, they will just stay in their PE kit all day. PE kit this year is: trainers, white PE t-shirt, purple shorts or plain black tracksuit bottoms, purple hoodie or purple school jumper. As the vast majority of our PE needs to take place outdoors, a waterproof jacket is also sensible on days when the weather is not so good.
Swimming - normal swimming kits are needed in a waterproof bag - towel and swim suit (no bikinis). PE kits can be worn.
Homework
We will do Homework over a fortnightly period. So, one week we will have a Maths and an English task to complete in our Homework books. These will go home on a Monday, to be returned by the following Monday.
For the alternate week, the children will be asked to work on some Topic-based tasks which will be in a grid format on a sheet for them to take home (and also on this page below). These suggested tasks can be done at home in those alternate weeks when they don’t have their Homework books. Any finished tasks can be brought into school to share with the class, a photo could be sent on Class Dojo. We will then be able to give verbal feedback and share the work as a class.
Please see the link for the Homework booklet for Summer term.
