General Reminders

• Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday so please make sure your child has a full, named kit in school on those days. 
• Please include trainers, leggings or jogging bottoms in your child’s PE kit so that we can go outside as much as possible. 
• All jumpers and water bottles should be named. Please check labels regularly as the names do fade! 
• Water bottles, book bags and reading books should come into school every day.
• Please fill your child’s water bottle with fresh water every day. 
• In warmer weather, please send your child to school with a hat and apply sun cream before school. We can not apply sun cream at school. 

Homework

• We send home a reading book every Monday. You will keep it for one week.
• We expect your child to read at home at least 3 times in a week.
• Please write in the Reading Journal every time you read at home.
• Please use the questions at the back of the book to check if your child has understood what they have read. 
• Spellings go home on a Friday. These are always linked to the phonics we learned last week. 
• We do a spelling check on the following Friday. 
• Later in the year we will be giving your children Times Table Rock Stars logins. Please encourage your children to play regularly.
• In year 1 we learn our 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
