Mr Davies – Teaching Assistant Miss Pilkington – Teaching Assistant

We are excited about the year ahead and are looking forward to teaching your children. The promotion of independent learning will be a focus for the children this year in preparation for year six.

Class Information:

Attendance and punctuality

It is important that your child has good attendance with the government requirements being 98%. It is also important that your child arrives on time as this minimises disruption in the classroom.

PE Kits

Your child will participate in PE on a Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure they have the full kit, labelled for ease of identification. Please check pump sizes regularly as you know how fast they grow. Children can leave their kits in school and take them home at half term unless they need washing sooner.

Homework

Your child will receive homework on a weekly basis, this is to be completed and handed in within the same week. Spellings will also be given out on Friday and tested the following Friday.

Reading

It is essential that your child reads at home as this will not only help with fluency but will also aid spelling. Please encourage your child to read for at least 10 – 15 minutes per night.
