INFORMATION FOR THE AUTUMN TERM TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.

For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview..

Our PE sessions for this term remain unchanged; Tuesday afternoon (outdoor) and Wednesday morning (indoor).

Children will need to come to school in their PE uniforms on these days. It would also be appreciated if all uniform (including PE) is labelled with your child’s full name and class. Please can we remind parents/ carers that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days.

Class 9 will receive swimming lessons, as the National Curriculum states, this term as part of their PE lessons. This will replace their outdoor PE session. A letter was sent home at the end of Spring term with more details on this, however, please ask if you require a replacement letter.

P.E

Reading

Children will continue to receive reading books linked to their ability from school and a library book; they can change these weekly during our library slot. We encourage the children to read as many times as they can weekly and fill in progress/ areas to develop in their reading diaries. This will also be filled out by a class teacher as a form of communication between home and school and will significantly support their learning. Children should bring these to school with them each day, along with their reading book band book; however, we have noticed some the children are choosing not to take reading books home. We would appreciate the support in ensuring your children bring their reading books home and read with an adult where possible.

Finally, children will have the exciting opportunity to visit the National Space Centre in Leicester to support their learning in Science this term. Further details of this will follow at a later date.

Thank you for your continued support over the year so far, we look forward to the remainder of the year spent as a team. If you have any questions/queries now or throughout the year, please do not hesitate to speak to us.
