Class Information

School Times

Our gates open at 8:45am and the Nursery / Year 1 / Year 2 gate will stay open until 9am. After this, entry to school will be through the School Office, so that learning can begin on time and with minor disruption. Year 2 is a very important year, so children need to be in school as often as possible and on time, to make sure they are not missing important learning time in lessons.

Our day finishes at 3:30pm. If you need to speak to the Class Teacher for whatever reason, please wait until all children are dismissed or arrange a phone call. This is because we want everyone to remain safe.

 

P.E. Kits

Our P.E. day is every Tuesday and Friday. PE kits and shoes are to stay in school in a bag which your child's name clearly labelled on it. Please also remember to put your child's name on their PE clothes and shoes.

Attendance and Punctuality

It is very important that your child has good attendance and punctuality. It is also important that your child arrives on time, as this minimises disruption to both their learning and to the classroom.

Please make sure that your child arrives to school on time. If your child is going to be absent, please contact school to let us know as soon as possible.

Uniform

Please ensure your child has the correct uniform and that each item is clearly labelled, including their coat and P.E. kit. This is in case they are lost and can be found more easily. Children should also be wearing black school shoes.

Their school uniform is a reflection on the class and school as a whole; especially when we are out of school or have visitors. The children feel so smart in their full uniform and feel proud to wear it.

Reading Books

Reading is a vital part of your child's education and reading with your child at home is a lovely way to spend quality time with them. Children can also read with their older siblings. Reading enables children to learn more vocabulary in a range of subjects and it also helps them with their writing.

We suggest that children read each night and practise their sounds to support their learning in school. Please encourage them to sound out unfamiliar words and read with fluency and expression.

Every Monday, reading bags will be sent home with your child with a book they should read at home. This should then be recorded in their reading record. Please send your child's book bag into school with them every Thursday so these books can be changed. 

Water

Children are encouraged to drink water throughout the day. They can bring in their own water bottle. Plastic cups are also provided if your child does not have a water bottle for the day.

Inhalers/Prescribed Medicine

If your child needs an inhaler, could you please send it in with a name label and instructions on when to take it. All parents must sign a medical consent form in the main reception to authorise any medicines to be administered by staff.

Homework

We provide a homework menu at the begining of each term that the children can complete at home. The children can then bring in and show what they have completed, sharing their hard work with their friends in class and feel proud of themselves.

New Spellings homework will be sent out every Monday and tested on Friday. We also ask that children read at home each night.

 

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Fegan
