  Reading

All children in Reception will read on a Friday. Children will come home with Read Write Inc sounds to practice and learn at home each week. 

 PE Day 

PE afternoon is on Friday. Please ensure children wear a suitable P.E. kit to school (blue school t-shirt, jogging bottoms/leggings/shorts and a pair a trainers) on Friday and make sure all jewellery is removed. Children will be taking part in physical activities indoors and outdoors so appropriate footwear is needed. 

 Rewards 

We have a whole school reward scheme, the OSCARs. Every week one child from each class (Reception to Year 6) is chosen to receive an OSCAR in our special assembly on Friday. Their certificate is displayed in the junior hall for everybody to see how well they've done until the following week when they can take their certificate home.

2024-25

Spring Term

Our topic this term is “How can I help you?” which has a Humanities focus. We will be focusing on human rights, our community and how our actions affect our environment. In the first half term pupils we be finding out all about the people who help us in our community and how this is linked to the rights of the child. After half term we will find out how we can help our local community and look after our environment. At the end of the topic we will take part in a community project and then show the rest of the school what we have learnt.

Learning through play

We encourage all our children to be independent learners so sometimes your child may come home with a messy uniform. This shows that they have had a busy day learning lots of new skills.
