Check this page regularly to see what we are learning about in school and how you can support your child's learning.
General Information
 
 
Reading
Thank you to everyone who supports their child by sharing the reading scheme book regularly at home.  Children who read often become confident readers.  Please remember to write in the Reading Diary so we know what you have been doing at home.
We do many reading activities at school in addition to hearing the children read.
 
PE

PE lessons for all classes will take place on Fridays, commencing in the week beginning 1 October 2026.

Please ensure your child has a PE kit in school at all times, consisting of a white T-shirt and plain blue or black shorts. PE bags will be sent home at the end of each half term for washing and should be returned promptly at the start of the following term.

Following the Easter holiday, children will also require a pair of trainers for outdoor PE and sports activities.

 
Library books
Our Library book change day is Friday. Please make sure your child brings their library book to school each Friday so that it can be returned and replaced with a new book.

WOW Moments 
We love to celebrate the learning your child has done at home, so if they achieve something that makes you say, "Wow!", we want to hear about it!  You can fill in a WOW moment, and send it in to school so it can be shared with your child's class.
 
 Thank you for your continued support.
 
Mrs Lamb and The Year R Team.
Supporting your child at home.
 
Supporting your child with learning at home will help them to develop as a confident learner.  In addition to hearing your child read as often as possible, you could also access the following activities and resources ...
 
 
 
 
 
Familiarise yourself with the Early Learning Goals (where most children will be by the end of Year R)
 
 
 
 
Encourage your child to write as much as possible and remind them to use correct letter formation.  Use the letter formation booklet that was sent home with your child.
 
 
Take a look on Pinterest.  There LOTS of good ideas for making learning fun, especially for phonics and maths.
