Woodland Learning
Every Thursday the children will be taking part in ‘Woodland Learning’. The children will be learning a range of new skills in our forest every week. Please make sure your child wears a tracksuit on their ‘Woodland Learning Day’. Please remember to send your children in with wellies and waterproofs, this is really important as they are likely to get muddy!
P.E
We will have P.E on Tuesdays and Friday, both sessions will take place outdoors where possible. Please come to school on those days in your PE kit, you will be wearing it all day so make sure you have suitable footwear and on colder days tracksuit bottoms and a jumper.
How to help at home:
Please try to read a range of books with your child for enjoyment, aim to read their school book with them at least 3 times per week. Reading books will be sent home every Thursday and must be returned on a Monday so they can be quarantined. Whilst the books are in school, you can log onto Pearsons Bug Club to access more books on your child's level.
Children will receive weekly spellings to learn and practice at home, as well as weekly Times Tables Rock Stars. Spellings are to be returned to school on a Monday.
