Important Information for Robins Parents 

  • Reading books will be changed on a Friday. Please ensure children bring their reading book and diary every day as they will also read in school. Please fill in the diary when you have read with your child at home. 
  • Homework – choose one of the activities each week as a homework task.  You can choose any activity you want from the table and you can record it in your homework book.  Once you have completed the task, colour the box and add the date you completed it.  Homework books will be handed out on a Friday to be returned by the following Wednesday. 
  • Spellings will be given out half termly. Children will have the chance to learn each week’s spellings throughout the week before applying these in class on a Friday. The children will tick and fix each spelling as they go to encourage application of the spelling rule. If you have misplaced the spelling overview, please ask at drop off or collection and I will get you a copy. 
  • Our PE day is Friday. Children must come to school in their school P.E. kit of plain white t-shirt, black shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms and plain white or black trainers. 
  • If your child is having a school lunch, please ensure that payment is now done on Arbor. Please check Arbor for regular updates and information.
