Physical Education
Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your child arrives in school wearing their school PE kit.  The children should also wear their usual school jumper or cardigan on these days. PE will take place outside and children will be able to wear hats and coats until they have warmed up for this fun, important and compulsory area of school life.
The children will be taking part in the Widening Horizons project. Please read the PDF for the information.
Homework
 
Hearing your child read can be difficult at this age,  but as often as possible, ask your child questions about their reading book, challenge them to predict what will happen next and ask them to summarise what they have read so far. We are aiming for your child to read at home for 15 minutes, 5 times a week.  This will be monitored and discussed with your child each Monday.
 
Spellings will be issued on a Tuesday then tested on the following Monday.  Handwriting practice sheets will contain the spelling list, and it be sent home to support children with no internet access. The children must also access this list through Spelling frame if they are able. It would be great if they could carry out a practice test and test on spelling frame.
 
Maths and English activities will be allocated weekly, using the home  learning sheets, and 'Maths Flex'. TTRS will also be set to practice times tables. There will be a homework club on a Monday lunchtime for children finding it difficult to complete home learning at home.
