Home Reading
Reading is a vital skill for children to master. If a child cannot read confidently, it can negatively impact their learning in every subject.
Your child will bring home a reading book every night. Please support your child by listening to them read regularly.
Your child does not need to read a whole book every night. Instead, spend around 10 minutes reading a few pages and asking your child questions about what they have read to check that they have understood it. Reading is not just about recognising the words on the page – it is being able to describe what has happened and why. There are often questions in the front or back of a reading scheme book to help you with this.
Please support your child by listening to them read as often as possible. Don’t forget to sign your child’s reading record book to confirm that your child has read and add a comment too. This is the best way you can help your child to succeed in their learning.
Hawks’ Class Assembly
A final reminder that our Hawks’ class will be leading our assembly this Wednesday, 12th February at 8.40am in the school hall. Parents and carers of children in the Hawks’ class are very welcome to join us.
Arriving At School On Time
Please make sure that your child arrives at school on time. We have noticed that quite a few children have been arriving at school after the 8.30am bell. If your child does arrive after 8.30am to find that their classroom door is locked, please remind them to come to the main entrance and they will be able to enter the building that way.
Half Term Break
School closes at 3.00pm this Friday for the half term break and re-opens on Monday 24th February at 8.20am (Breakfast Club at 7.45am).
