PE Days

Our PE days for Barns Owls Class and Red Squirrels Class are Wednesday and Fridays. 

Please make sure to bring in your P.E kits so you can take part in the fun PE lessons we have planned. 

Home Reading

Phonics Reading Books:

Home reading books are invaluable in supporting your child to become fluent and confident readers. Reading books will be changed on Mondays. Please sign/initial once the book has been read and make sure that your child returns it so we can change their book – this ensures everyone has a chance to read the whole set.

Tips for reading at home:

• Make predictions about the book
• Talk about and identify the main character(s) and setting
• Sequence the main events, retell the story with different endings
• Discuss how characters feel at different times and why
• Encourage children to think about how a character could say things to develop their expression
