Please remember to bring a water bottle and a healthy snack (Year 3 no longer receive free fruit snacks from school, so please ensure your child has a snack with them everyday).  A healthy snack is a piece (or selection) of fruit/ veg/salad or plain popcorn or plain rice cake.  

Please check your name is written on your jackets, jumpers, school and PE uniform, water bottle and snack pot. 

Please provide your child with a colouring book or puzzle book for your child to keep in their trays for indoor breaks. 

Please remember to read and practice reading, spelling and tables each day.  Record your reading in your new 'Red Reading Records'.  You  must bring your reading record and reading books to school each day. 

Homework will be uploaded each Monday (please see below).  It should be recorded in the pink homework and returned to school completed and marked by Friday. 

Our PE days are WEDNESDAYS and THURSDAYS.  Children are to come to school in PE kits on these days.
