Members of staff• Me!
• Mrs Wilson – Will be assisting me in class on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week.
• Mrs Rees – Is a learning mentor and will be assist in class each morning.
Reading• All children will be given a home reader book. This may
not be read in school each week, but should be read and dated at home by yourselves. These will be checked every Friday to ensure that the children are reading at home and making progress through their chosen book.
• Books should be in school every day and will be changed as and when the children finish them.
• Children will also complete guided reading sessions every week. These will be concentrating on comprehension of the text, as well as decoding new or unusual words.
• Now that most children are able to read fluently, it is very important that you ask them questions about what they are reading, to ensure that they understand.
English and Maths Homework English homework will be given on a Thursday, along with spellings to
learn.
This must be returned by the following Thursday, when the spelling test will take place.
Homework may be linked to spellings or the work that we have covered that week in class , but sometimes a longer piece of writing or research will be required.
Maths will be given on a Friday to be returned by the following Friday. This will take the form of a written worksheet or an online activity accessed through the website www.mymaths.co.uk (Login: hrcps Password: money) A letter will be sent home this week with your child’s login details.
A tables test will also take place on a Friday. Details can be found in their table test books.
We will inform children if they have online homework; however, please
check the website on a Friday.
PE P.E. in J1 will take place on a Monday (indoor) and a
Friday (outdoor). PE Kits must remain in school and taken home every
half term holiday to be washed. On Fridays, as it is outdoor PE, children can bring tracksuits and trainers, depending on the weather. These cannot be left in school, however, due to lack of space. We start PE in the first week of each half term, so please ensure that they are returned on the first day back.
RE – Mission Statement
RE is at the centre of everything we do in school. The children are taught that they are a member of this Christ centred community, as well as being members of the parish. These strong bonds between their family, the school and the church are vital.
Any issues? Please try to ensure that your child is punctual and maintains
a high level of attendance. If your child is sick, please inform the office first thing. Can you try to send in a water bottle as this saves on trips to the water fountain!
If you wish to speak to the me, if possible please try not to approach me in the morning, as I am sure you can appreciate, I have thirty one children to attend to. Instead, inform the office of any messages, or ask the office staff to make an appointment with me. I will be also be available on the playground at the end of each school day.
If your child has any medication, including inhalers, please complete a form at the office. Also, ensure that it is clearly labelled.
How you can help? Ensure completion of homework. Read with your child regularly, even if only a few pages. Encourage independent research. Constant practice of the weekly times tables, as this will
benefit their mathematical knowledge. Regular practice of the weekly spellings. Practise using time, e.g. reading digital and analogue clocks
and durations of journeys, programmes etc.
Thank you!
This PowerPoint will be available along with any other school information (holiday calendar, curriculum map etc.) from our school website.
