PE and Forest School
Autumn Term 1 - our PE day is Monday. Please come to school wearing your PE clothes. This will start on Monday 14th September.
Forest School will be on a Thursday. Please refer to the separate message regarding clothing which will be sent out.
Homework
The expected homework for children in Reception is that of daily reading and phonics practise.
Maths activities linked to the week's learning are set on Fridays and, where applicable, are expected to be returned by the following Wednesday.
Other home learning tasks to support learning in other subjects are set periodically which are shared with the class and sent home via a written request.
To access the Wrens Homework page you will need to use the password that will be stuck in the front of your child's reading record.
Reading
- All children are expected to read 5 times per week minimum.
- Reading books and reading record books should be in school EVERYDAY in your child's book bag. The number of reads recorded in the record book will be counted on a Monday. We change reading books twice a week if they are read a sufficient number of times.
- An adult signature and an optional comment should be recorded after each read. Remember that phonics practice counts as a read.
- 5 reads signed by an adult each time will earn you a raffle ticket each week! The raffle tickets go into a box and at the end of term one lucky winner will be drawn out who will then go on the bookshop visit to buy a book for their class.
- If you have any questions or concerns about your child's reading or would like some help with how best to support their reading, please speak to the class teacher in the first instance.

Anti-Bullying Week
Many children and adults are unsure of when unkind behaviour crosses the line and is bullying. Please see below for the Anti-bullying Alliance's definition of what bullying is.
The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face to face or online
