Welcome back to a new school year.
We hope you will find the following information useful for settling your child into his or her new class in Years 1 or 2.
Reading book / reading record book
Your child should take his or her reading book home every evening. We would like your child to change his/ her reading book whenever you feel it is appropriate. Reading boxes are stored outside Robins and Kingfishers classrooms. Higher level book boxes are stored in the library.
Your child will read regularly to an adult in school. In addition, reading is taught in class through guided reading groups and through shared reading and writing in Literacy lessons.
Homework books
Each week on a Wednesday your child will be set homework. The children will be given a task in their homework book to be completed and returned by the following Monday. Your child will also have a separate spelling book with suggested activities to help them practise and learn these ready for testing in school. It is important these books are kept at home throughout the week and not returned until Monday to ensure you have them available for regular practise.
P.E.
Please make sure that your child has his/her P.E. kit in school every day. Please ensure that all clothing is clearly named in a named bag to be left on your child’s peg. This term we will be doing both indoor and outdoor P.E. Your child will need the following items:
School Items
Please can we remind you to clearly label and name all items children bring into school in permanent pen - this will ensure they are quickly returned to your child.
Water
Your child may bring a small, named, clear plastic bottle of still, unflavoured water to school each day. All bottles do need to be taken home each day.
Parent Helpers
Teachers are always appreciative of any support parents can give to help in the classroom. If you are interested please see your child’s teacher to arrange convenient times. Please can we remind you that all parent helpers must have had a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If you are interested in helping, but haven’t had this done, please enquire at the office.
