Welcome back for the Summer term!

We hope you've all had a restful (and fun) break!

The school day begins at 8.45 when we will take the register and move straight into Little Wandle reading groups. After this, we will have English, then maths which is taught separately to each year group.  In the afternoon, we will have phonics and spelling sessions after lunch, followed by two other lessons and a short break time. The school day ends at 3.15 pm. 

We will have PE lessons on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday mornings this term, but we would like PE kit to be sent to school on Monday and stay in all week if possible.  Year 2 will swim on a Tuesday afternoon, whilst Year 1 will work on their dance skills. On Wednesdays, we will have cricket with Lucy Potter.  Please remember that PE kit is black shorts or a skort with a plain white t-shirt for indoor PE, with black joggers or leggings with a plain black hoodie for outdoor PE. These should be unbranded. Earrings cannot be worn for PE. 

Our science topic this term is all about plants. We will learn how plants grow, recognise common plants, and grow plants under different conditions. 

Homework will be set on Thursdays, to be handed in on the following Thursday.  Please remember to access TT Rockstars or Numbots (year 1), and if your child has access to Lexia it would benefit them to do this at home as well as accessing it in school. 

 We encourage children to read as often as possible at home to an adult, as this will greatly support the development of their literacy skills. Children who read regularly at home make more rapid progress in all subjects. We have a “three times a week” reading challenge in our class to encourage reading at home, with children who read five times a week getting additional dojo points.  

 If you have any questions, please use the "contact me" form.
