School Diaries
Please send your child’s school diary in every day. These can be used to pass messages on between home and school. It would be particularly useful to also note any changes in going home arrangements too or if you require a book change. Please note diaries won’t be signed every day but will be checked.
Reading Books
Reading books will be changed every Friday. Children will be given two reading books to read at home throughout the week. The two books are known as a ‘My Book’ and an ‘Our Book’. The ‘My Book’ is a book matched to your child’s phonics knowledge or a coloured level book. These books are used to boost your child’s fluency when reading aloud and encouraging them to segment and blend words.
The ‘Our Book’ is a book that the children choose themselves from our class library. This should be read alongside an adult and aims to boost children’s interest and love of reading.
Water Bottles
Children are to bring their bottles in on a Monday and keep them in school all week. They can take them home again on a Friday to be washed over the weekend. Please make sure that these are clearly labelled.
PE
Our PE sessions are on Friday and Wednesday. For the Friday session, children should bring their P.E. kit into school to get changed into. The Wednesday session is delivered by the NUFC Foundation and the children come into school wearing their P.E kit for this session. This should be a school jumper, a white T-shirt and black shorts or jogging bottoms with trainers for outdoors. All uniform should be labelled, including coats, shoes and PE kits.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to chat to us at the start or end of the school day. Alternatively, you can write a message in your child’s diary or contact our school office by phoning 01661 832581 or emailing [email protected].
