Key information for working together:

PE: Our PE day will be Monday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit on this day with hard trainers on. Please send them with a zip up hoodie as well as their coat as we will be outside and check the weather to decide whether they need shorts or jogging bottoms.

School bags: these bags will be used to transport their reading record, reading books, notes, letters and accident slips. Please check this bag after school every day.

Reading: It is crucial that you spend a few minutes every day listening to your child read. Your child will get the opportunity to change their reading book every Tuesday. Please write in their reading record when you have heard them read.

Communication
