If you have any messages, questions or queries, please write a note in your child’s school planner and ask them to show the planner to their teacher. Alternatively, you can make an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher via the school office.

PE Days

On PE days, the children should come to school wearing their PE kit. This does include tracksuit bottoms and trainers and the children can also wear their school jumper and a coat on these days. For safety purposes, earrings should be removed for PE lessons. Earrings can be covered with tape for the 6 weeks after the initial piercing but should then be removed for PE activities.  If your child cannot take them out themselves, please ensure they are taken out and left at home.

PE days are as follows:

Jasper Class: Wednesday

Garnet Class: Wednesday

Ruby Class: Wednesday

 

Year 1 Phonics Screening Check

At the end of Year 1, all the children take a test called a Phonics Screening Check. They have to read 40 real and nonsense words.  We call the nonsense words ‘Alien words’ and the children practice reading them every day.

The following websites could be used at home to help to practice these skills. Click to follow the links.
