Maths
Maths will be set via the MyMaths website, your child will be bringing a letter home to explain this in full. An additional copy of their login details will be stuck into their reading record book. Please encourage your child to login weekly and have a go. A new task will be set each week.
Reading
Your child needs to bring in their reading book and reading record everyday so we can listen to your child read. Reading books will be changed once a week on a Friday. Children are expected to read at home to an adult on a daily basis and an adult entry made into their reading journal.
All children who record 3 entries into their reading journal each week will automatically receive a house-point token and children who record 5 entries will receive 3 house-point tokens.
Break Time Snacks
Children are welcome to bring in a healthy snack for the morning break time. We are a nut free school so please ensure any snacks do not contain nuts. Snacks are not to be shared with other children as there are a number of children with specific food allergies.
All children should bring a water bottle to school. Water bottles are available from the office for a small fee.
