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 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.

Spring Term
Our main area of learning this term is Science & Technology. Our topic is called 'Science is Magic'.
Pupils will be taking part in a range of real life investigations to help them learn about the world around them. They will be investigating waterproof materials, cooking reactions, gravity, mixing materials to make chemical reactions and the importance of safety within the home.
Ways to help your child at home

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.
