PE
PE will be on Tuesday morning, the children are to come in school on this day in their PE kit: school jumper, plain navy/black/grey jogging trousers or shorts and a plain white/navy/black/grey T-shirt with trainers is expected. PE will be done outside, weather permitted. We will review the additional indoor PE session over the term, alongside government guidelines.
Reading
Your child will be given a reading book of their choice for you to share at home. They will change their book every Monday and we expect you to read with your child at least 4 times a week to support their communication and language development. The books have to be quarantined which is why we are setting days to change reading books. More support on phonics at home will come later in the term.
Learning and well-being
The main focus for the children is to ensure they are happy and settled in school especially with all the uncertainty at the moment. We will be provided them with many opportunities to share and discuss their lock-down experiences, worries and support with gaps in learning.
Extreme Reading Pictures - Well done to the children who have enter the extreme reading competition!
