Reminders:
PE kits: Children are required to wear their PE kits all day. Van Gogh and Matisse have PE on a Tuesday and Hepworth is on a Wednesday.
Water bottles: Please make sure your child has a water bottle in school every day.
Home Learning
Maths: We have started using Numbots and TimesTables Rockstairs. The children will have been sent a log in as well as have one stuck in their reading record. Once a week the children will receive certificates based on their levels and their progress. It is a great way to build your child's fluency in maths.
Reading: The children should come home with a phonics book that relates to their phonics group and a library book. Please read to and with your child daily. It is recommended that the phonics books be read three times a week for fluency.
