Reading

Reading with your child is the most important thing that you can do to help them in school.  Reading for just 20 minutes every day can make a huge amount of difference, as this infographic shows.

Please ensure an adult reads with your child at least three times a week and records that in their contact book - read more if possible!  Reading logs are checked every Friday. 

General Reminders

Please remember to bring the contact book to school everyday. This book is used to pass on messages and record reading.

PE is every Thursday.  Please ensure that children have their named PE kits in school at all times.

Year 2 have a weekly word check every Friday.  

Parents of children in Reception can see daily updates on their child's progress through the Tapestry app.  Please speak to one of us if you need help with this.

I am available most days from 3:15pm for a quick chat if you wish to discuss an aspect of your child's learning.  Alternatively, you can make an appointment through the school office.
