'Once you learn to read, you will be forever free'
Reading is at the heart of the our curriculum, we want every child to discover the joy of reading for pleasure.
We expect every child to read at home at least 4 times per week, this does not have to be a school reading book it can be anything that your child enjoys reading.
We also want to promote a love of reading by encouraging parents to read to their children. Cosy up and enjoy a book together!

Homework will be given out on a Thursday and is expected to be handed in on the following Wednesday.
There will be a piece of maths homework and a spelling task.
There will also be learning log task based on our topic to complete every half term.
In addition to this, we expect children to complete tasks on Times table rockstars and also read at least 4x per week.
Spellings
Children are expected to be able to read and spell common exception words, there is a set for years 3&4. The list is attached at the bottom of this page.
Each week the children will have a spelling test, this will be on a Thursday morning. They will be tested on the spellings that are sent home.
In PE this half-term, we will be taking part in on a
The children should come to school at the beginning of the week with their PE kit in a small, drawstring bag, which is to be kept in school until Friday when we will send them home for washing. In Key Stage 2, it is an expectation that the children get themselves ready for PE.
Children will usually wear their white shorts and navy PE t-shirt for PE but, while the cooler weather is approaching, they can instead wear tracksuit bottoms or leggings with their PE t-shirt and school sweatshirt or cardigan if they wish to. It is a good idea to have both options in the PE bag - please make sure that you show your children the different items that are in there or even get them to pack it with you!
Please ensure all items are labelled with your child's name.
Coats/bags
Your child will need a coat in school at all times as we will be doing as much as we can outside.
No bags, apart from lunch bags, book bags and PE bags, are needed in school.
Please make sure that all items of clothing, including PE kits, shoes, and coats, have the children's names on the labels. The children may be able to identify their belongings at home, but it is surprising how difficult they find it when they haven't worn something for a while and it looks so similar to everyone else’s!
Please remember that children need a full water bottle every day and we will send them home every night for a wash and refill.
