We are a mixed Reception and Year 1 class. 

Home learning

We encourage you to read with and to your child on a regular basis.

PE days

Each week PE will be on a Tuesday and a Thursday. Please keep PE kit in school all week as we sometimes change the days we do it.

Snack time

We have free fruit and vegetables for the children but if you would like to send more in please do.

Reading

Please support your child by hearing them read daily and date and write a comment in their reading record book.  It is also important to read to your child so that they develop a love of books and reading.  

Sound Books

Reception children will bring home a sound book which will be updated weekly.  Please share this with them and help them to quickly recognise the sounds in there.  When they can recognise them encourage them to learn to write them.

Spellings

Year 1 have a weekly spelling test on a Friday.  We look at the sounds in the spellings in our daily phonics session, but please practice at home too

Please see our class page to see all the exciting things we have been doing and do not hesitate to come in and ask anything you are unsure of.
