Times Tables and spellings are expected to be practised regularly over the week. Spellings will go home every 1-2 weeks depending on the spelling rule being learned. Spelling tests are on Fridays. Reading diaries should be signed by an adult each evening after children read at home. We recommend 15-20 minutes of reading per evening please.
P.E. is on a Tuesday – children should wear their PE kit to school on Tuesdays.
Swimming is every Wednesday morning. It will be very helpful if children attend school with their swimming kit underneath their school uniform, as well as bringing a towel.
