A big thank you to all parents who attended parents evening. It was great to celebrate and discuss your child’s progress made so far.

 

Thank you for your endless support and we hope you all have a lovely, restful half term.

Notices & Reminders:

  

Reminders:

 

Please ensure all children bring a raincoat to school. Children can bring a pair of wellies and leave them in their cloakroom to use if needed.

 

Please ensure your child comes with a water bottle (water only, not squash) and a healthy snack (school fruit is available).

 

Reading record books- Please try and fill in the reading record so we can see how much your child is reading (just the book name and an adult initial). When your child has read these books a minimum of 3 times, they can change their books in class. Please can reading records be brought into school every day.

 

Please ensure all toys and personal belongings are kept at home. Children are losing their toys, pencil cases, and storybooks, which is causing upset. Children do not need pencil cases in Year 1 as we supply all necessary stationery.

 

 

Please see below the links detailed about phonics and the correct pure sound pronunciation.
