Reading regularly at home helps children understand texts with meaning and develops their vocabulary and imagination.

Spelling homework will be set once a week on Mondays and children must memorise them and then transfer them into their writing.

P.E.

• Through P.E. we will cover a range of different sports ensuring that the children get a broad range of learning experiences within the different sports.

• Children should have the appropriate PE kit for the weather (shorts or jogging bottoms).

• If a child is unable to take part in a PE lesson for whatever reason I need to receive a note from the parent or guardian outlining why your child is unable to take part in the lesson.

• I have high expectations of all children and really encourage the idea of sportsmanship and a positive attitude towards team mates and competitors alike. This makes for a great atmosphere within lessons which in turn means children will gain a great learning experience and above all will enjoy the lessons!

Golden Time will be run slightly differently to previous years.

Each teacher will run a different activity on a Friday afternoon, and children will choose which activity they would like to take part in e.g. dance, arts & crafts etc. They will do this activity for the entire half term and then can choose a new activity.

If children have lost any of their Golden Time, they will sit in the classroom that their chosen activity is being run in, but will not be able to join in until the time that they have lost is up.

Please encourage your child to use Mathletics at home on a regular basis. Where possible support your child in their reading and spellings by asking them questions and helping them to revise.

Marking

Lunchtime Behaviour System Yellow card• This is a warning. The lunchtime supervisors will write down the child’s name in

their book and talk to the child about what rule they have broken.

Red card• If they break a rule a second time or they do something serious, the child will get a

red card. Miss Alison will send a letter to the parent/carer to tell them about the behaviour and the child will have a lunchtime detention the following day with Miss Alison.

• If they misbehave again, they will receive another red card.The parent/carer will have to come for a meeting with Mrs Holland and Miss Alison to discuss the behaviour and they will have a lunchtime detention for 2 days.

• If your child gets another Red card, it is very serious, they will have a lunchtime detention for 3 days and you will have a meeting with Mrs Holland. The child will go on a ‘report card’ to check their behaviour every play and lunchtime for 10 consecutive days. You will then meet Mrs Holland again to check improvements have been made. At the end of each term the slate is wiped clean and children start each term without a record of detentions or red cards.

General Reminders

• Please make sure that book bags, PE kits and water bottles are in school every day.

• All school clothes and PE kits MUST be labelled, (there is a uniform list on the school website).

• Call the office if your child is absent.• No holidays will be authorised in term time.
