Below you will find some information on the ways that you as a parent/guardian can help your child to reach their full potential.

Reading: is a vital element in all subjects and reading books will be sent home every night. All children are expected to read at for at least 10 minutes every night. Please listen to your child read and sign their home reading diary. We will be marking this off daily and keeping track of who is reading at home. 'Reading is a passport to countless adventures - Mary Pope Osborne'.

Times Tables: Children are expected to know their 3, 4 and 8 times tables and associated division facts by the end of year 3 as well as 2, 5 and 10 from year 2. Please ensure that your children access Times Tables Rock Stars to keep their skills sharp.

Logins will be in childrens reading records.

As well as Times Tables Rock Stars, take a look at the times tables page to find some other wesbites that the children can access at home.

Spelling: A paper copy of the spellings will be sent home every Thursday. Children can also access these spellings by logging into Spelling Shed. They will be tested the following Thursday.

Physical Education (PE): Our P.E day is Thursday, please ensure your child comes in to school on Thursday wearing their P.E Kit. School uniform for P.E is a white t-shirt, black or navy-blue shorts and black pumps. Your child may require something warmer to wear if the weather is colder. Please ensure that all items of kit are clearly labelled with your child’s name. For health and safety reasons, children cannot wear jewellery for PE, so all children need to either be able to remove their earrings or they should be removed in the morning before school.

Swimming: Year 3 will be taking part in swimming every Wednesday.

Please note appropriate swimwear should be worn for the lessons. Your child should either wear a one piece costume or swimming shorts or trunks that are an appropriate length. Swimming trunks should be mid-thigh and above the knee. If they fall on or below the knee, and/or have baggy pockets, the child will not be able to take part in the lessons. Swimming costume should be a one piece suit only, no bikinis or the child will not be able to take part in the lesson
