PE

We have PE on Tuesday afternoons with Mr Jones. Please send your child to school in their PE kit.

Forest School

We love to go to Forest School every Friday afternoon. Please send your child into school in their Forest School kit. Children should leave their wellies in school at all times. 

Spelling, Phonics and Reading 

Phonics is a very important part of early reading and writing. We teach Phonics daily and incorporate it in all areas of learning. We have more information about our teaching and how you can help your child at home in the video below.

Home Readers

Your child will bring home a reading book for you to share at home. Please use the yellow reading record book to let us know how they have got on when reading with you. Home reading books are changed on Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure your child brings their reading book and reading record to school every day as the teachers may need to access it.
