Reading Books
We aim to read and change books with the children every week. Please ensure that your child has their reading book and journal in school every day to support their progress in reading.
Reading Ambassadors
Every time your child reads at home, please record it in their reading records. This is classed as a 'read'.
After 25 reads, your child will be rewarded with the bronze badge and certificate.
After 50 it's silver.
After 75 it's gold.
100 reads is rewarded with the 'Reading Ambassador' badge and certificate.
Homework
Homework will be given out every Friday. One side will have English work and the other maths.
The maths homework will cover an aspect the children have been learning in the week or a timetables activity.
The English will be a reading comprehension or a grammar and punctuation activity.
Spellings will also be given out each week and will be tested the following week.
PE kits
P.E Lessons will be on a Tuesday and Thursday.
Due to Health and Safety reasons, children who do not come to school with the correct PE kit will not be able to participate in PE lessons.

HISTORY
Educational Visit to Bishop's Wood
How lucky we were to fit in an early visit to Bishop's Wood! We had an action packed day, filled with fun activities which took us back to the Stone Age. We became hunter gatherers, throwing (pretend) spears at (pretend) animals and searched in the woods for suitable, natural food to eat. With our leaders Greg and Rachel, we made sparks to try and light a piece of cotton wool. We used willow branches to make fences to keep animals contained or to make a camp. We then worked as a team to figure out how to make a camp.

Extra homework
The children enjoyed using natural materials to create some Stone Age art, inspired by many caves around the world that were discovered to have drawings, dated to many, many years ago.
The children also used clay to create some jewellery similar to that which would have been worn during the Stone Age period.
