In addition to the Thursday P.E. lesson, all children will complete a ‘daily mile’. This will involve them running/walking a mile of the playground every day. |
Reading Books Children will develop their reading skills once a week with the class teacher as part of a guided reading group. In addition to this, children are expected to read independently at home at least five times a week. This could be a book from home or a book from the school library. Please could you sign their Home Reading Records at least once a week, however your child should be writing in it every time they read with a small comment. Children will visit the library on a weekly basis. |

How can parents help? |
|
Please listen to your child read at least five times a week or talk to your child about what they have read. Children can pick a reading book from school, home or the library. Their diaries need a quick initial at least once a week. Learning all the times table facts should also be ongoing with children becoming quicker with their mental recall. Please make sure homework is in on time and children have a clean and complete P.E. kit in school. |
