Reading:
Children are expected to read 3-5 times a week at home (alone or with an adult). This should be recorded in children’s reading diaries and must be signed by an adult. Reading certificates will be awarded when children have read enough times to meet each milestone: 50 reads for Bronze, 100 reads for Silver, 150 reads for Gold and 250 reads for Platinum.
Homework:
Homework will be set on a Friday and should be completed by the following Wednesday. This includes:
- Maths homework
- English homework
- Spelling practice set on Spelling Frame
- A writing task from the Writing Bingo sheet sent home half termly
- Regular times tables practice using Times Tables Rockstars
PE:
PE days will be Tuesdays (gymnastics coach) and Fridays (coach led) for Autumn 1. From Autumn 2 onwards, PE days will be Mondays (teacher taught) and Fridays (coach led). Children should wear their uniform and get changed into their PE kits in school on these days and ensure they are prepared for all weather! All jewellery must be removed prior to the PE lesson.
Healthy snack:
Most children require a snack at morning break to keep them going through the day. We encourage children to bring in healthy snacks.
Many of these will help contribute to their 5 daily portions of fruit and vegetables, keep them alert and help them concentrate.
If you are intending to send in healthy snacks with your child please limit them to the list below.
Vegetables/vegetable sticks – e.g. celery, cucumber, peppers or carrot.
A piece of cheese- e.g. cheddar cheese or Babybel.
A piece of fresh or dried fruit – e.g. pineapple, mango, kiwi, plain raisins, apricots, blueberries, banana slices.
Breads are also good snacks- e.g. Bread sticks, plain pretzels, banana bread, malt loaf, oat/rice cakes and small pitta.
We are aiming for a common-sense approach, with the key being to keep it healthy and no chocolate, sweets or crisps during breaktime.
