PHONICS - Read Write Inc.
We use the Read, Write, Inc phonic programme for teaching reading. Your child is assessed every half term to ensure they are in the correct group. Children will take part in the sessions in small groups as they learn their sounds. Please ensure that any phonic reading books are kept in your child's school bag and returned to school everyday as we will be reading them during phonic sessions.
P.E
Please make sure that your child wears their PE kit to school on their PE day, this will be every Tuesday and Thursday.
Kit: plain, dark coloured jogging bottoms, a jumper or hoody and outdoor trainers and socks.
Polite requests
Please send your child with a small labelled bag and water bottle (filled with water only). Please provide your child with spare clothes, in their bag every day.
Please label ALL of your child's belongings.
Please inform of any changes in advance of the adult that will be collecting at the end of the day (children under the age of 16, will not be permitted to collect a child).
The outdoor environment is set up prior to arrival, please do not allow you child to play on the equipment.
As part of their curriculum, the children are encouraged to access outdoors, exploring and learning about the environment. We like to take the children outside whether it's sunny, rainy, windy or snowy. Having a coat in school will facilitate this.
Please encourage independence with health and self-care, including dressing and toileting.
We value your contributions to your child's learning journal via Tapestry. Each class has an E-mail address (see below) to allow you to send us pictures of your children doing things at home.
