HOME LEARNING
Topic Homework:
Each half term, a copy of our topic homework grid is sent home and it is also available on the website. Please support your child by helping them to complete some the fun activities. Each completed activity is rewarded with house points.
Homework:
Homework is handed out on a WEDNESDAY and returned the following MONDAY. You will receive Maths homework one week, and phonics the next.
PE DAYS
P.E. Day: Thursday
Your child can come to school in the active uniform or a more traditional uniform on non-PE days.
Please refer to the Uniform Policy if you are unsure.
ROUTINES
Please encourage your child to come into their class independently. Parents and carers are welcome to bring their children to the doors in Autumn term. We operate an open door policy if you wish to speak to anyone about your child. You can also use your child's reading diary to pass on any non urgent messages. These will be checked regularly by our team.
Tumble Team should enter their classroom via the EYFS gate and automatic doors. Crumble Class should enter their classroom through the KS1 yard.
Please send your child with a fresh water bottle each day and a book bag. Both of which must be labelled.
Healthy snacks and milk are provided by the school.
REWARDS
Children will receive house points as an incentive for following our school rules and values. We also reward children's efforts with our recognition tree which is aimed to encourage and reward children as a team. We have a different focus for this depending on what we are working on in class but it could include 'Super Sitting, 'Lovely Listening', 'Waterfoot Walking'

Our first days
We have been so proud of how well the children have settled into their new school, learning new routines and meeting new friends. Take a look below at how happy they are undertaking new independent challenges!
The first time exploring our Outdoor Area
We had a wonderful time today exploring in our woodlands. The sun was shining so we went to learn about our woodland rules and visit the basecamps.
Autumn
We have been learning about the season of Autumn. Take a look at the lovely seasonal activities we have been doing!
National Poetry Day 03.10.24
The children in Oak Class have been celebrating National Poetry Day. The theme this year was counting, so we had great fun singing 1,2,3,4,5 Once I Caught a Fish Alive. We thought of actions and created our own verses which we then performed for each other. Can you spot us being pufferfish, sharks, dolphins, lobsters, seaweed or seahorses in the photos below?
