Children wear school uniform into school on these days and change into their PE kit for the lesson.
Please practise independence of tying shoe laces, doing and undoing both buttons and ties at home.
Please clearly label all items of clothing.
Please ensure that earrings are removed before school on Thursdays and Fridays, to ensure that children are safe during PE lessons.

Later on in the year we will have a spelling test every Thursday and a mental arithmetic test every Tuesday. Scores will be recorded in their homework diaries.

Please check that your child is not only able to read the text, but also able to comprehend and answer questions about the text.
Children will be encouraged to read one fiction and one non-fiction text each week.
