Forest School:

Miss Rose and Mr Dandolo’s class will begin sessions starting Monday 15th September. These will run for six consecutive Mondays.

  • Children do not need to wear school uniform on Forest School days.
  • Please ensure your child wears comfortable clothes suitable for outdoor learning.
  • Wellies are required, but waterproofs do not need to be purchased – we have plenty of spares in school.
  • Each child should bring a bag with spare clothes, as they may need to change depending on the activities of the day.

Mrs Hibbard’s class will begin their Forest School sessions once the first group has completed theirs. We will confirm dates for these sessions closer to the time.

📚 Reading and Spellings

Reading books are changed weekly, but the specific day will depend on when your child reads with an adult. Children will have two books at a time and a reading bookmark.

Spellings will be sent home weekly, every Thursday. Pupils will have regular opportunities to practise their words throughout the school week before taking a spelling quiz each Thursday morning. Spelling booklets will be sent home and weekly word lists will be highlighted on our year group’s class dojo page each week.

Homework:

This is sent out fortnightly. We send out a range of different activities for pupils to complete, related to the topics we are covering in our different curriculum subjects.
