Welcome to

MTC: Monday for selected pupils – beginning on 16th November

Choir practice

We will be running two sessions per class till the end of the Autumn Term as follows:

• Year 4I – Monday and Friday
• Year 4C – Tuesday and Thursday
• Y3/4 E – Tuesday and Thursday

Children will need to bring the following:

• Swimming costume
• Towel
• Swimming hat and goggles
• Flip flops or crocs to wear to and from the pool
• Optional: Robe/dressing gown/hoodie to wear before and after the lesson
• No jewellery – including earrings

We will have a limited number of swimming hats available from the school office which you can purchase for £3.00.

Your child will be having P.E. on the following days:

Y4C – Monday
Y3/4 E – Monday
Y4 I – Wednesday

The school PE kit is a black top with no logo, black bottoms/shorts and suitable footwear such as trainers or pumps. If your child does not have the appropriate P.E. kit/uniform then you will be telephoned and you will be required to bring this into school.

It is vital pupils engage in reading daily for no less than 20 minutes.

Every week, all pupils across the year group will get the following:

1) Weekly spelling words to learn. Please help your child learn to spell their words in whatever way you like.

2) Multiplication tables practice/ basic number bonds. Pupils will be given set multiplications/number bonds to learn at home. KS2 will also continue to have access to the online ‘Times Table Rockstar’ programme and timestables.co.uk – in preparation for the Multiple Times Table Check to be taken in June 2027.

3. Reading. We still expect pupils to read at home every night for at least 20 minutes but we will no longer be asking for this to be recorded in reading logs. Pupils can bring books home from their class library. Please continue to read with your child, or listen to them read and to ask questions about what they have read.

In addition to this, all pupils can access their Reading Plus account from home. Your child will receive their homework every Friday. This will need to be brought back to school on Tuesday. Pupils should also be taking reading books home regularly to read independently.

Additionally, all pupils have an account with Reading Plus and Timestable Rockstars which they can access from home.
