PE

Holly class will have their PE sessions on Thursday.

• Trainers for outdoor PE
• Tracksuits, sweatshirts and leggings can be worn for outdoor PE in colder weather 
• Ear rings must be removed and long hair must be tied back

Times Tables

Please also practice the times tables that your child is on. Children are tested twice every week and cannot move on to the next times table until they have passed their current level three times. This includes multiplication and division.

Reading

Children should be reading at home every evening. Please listen to your child read as often as possible and record this in their reading record. Reading books and reading records should be brought into school every day. 

Bug Club is a fantastic online resource which will encourage your child to explore a wider range of books and allows your child to read their level reading books in a digital format. All children have a login and can access the website through an internet browser.
