Communication BooksThe children will not need their Communication

Books, as they did in Reception (encouraging independence).

Should you wish to discuss anything with us we will be available after school . Parent consultations will take place on Tues 13th and Weds 14th October.

If your child is going home with someone else please send them in with a note in the morning to let us know.

SpringboardAt the start of the day children go straight to

their ‘springboard’ tables and do their morning activity.

Springboard is between 8.50 and 9.30. This is a time for children to practice key areas of their learning e.g. reading, maths etc. It is also a time where interventions will take place – for any gaps in your child’s learning to be addressed.

PE days and Kit PE is on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon. We will still be

doing PE outside each week so please ensure children have weather appropriate kit (i.e. jumpers and tracksuit bottoms).

Changing independently and being responsible for belongings: many children are still finding buttons tricky! Please do not send in laced shoes if your child is not able to lace their shoes independently.

Long hair must be tied back for PE days.

If your child has their ears pierced please make sure that they do not wear earrings on their PE day or can take them out themselves.
