PE P.E will take place on Friday afternoons. Due to the colder weather, children can wear navy/black tracksuit bottoms and jumpers. Trainers are needed for outdoor P.E. sessions. We will also attempt to run/walk/stagger the daily mile too! |
Reading Books Children will have a daily guided reading session in school but the children may also take a book from our school library. There is a recommended reading list on our website. Reading record books are being sent home with a reading challenge where the children can earn points and stars! Please sign the reading record book to show that your child has read at home. The children should be reading every day at home. |
