P.E. Days
P.E. Day: Thursday
Your child can come to school in the active uniform or a more traditional uniform on non-PE days.
Please refer to the Uniform Policy if you are unsure.
Routines
Please encourage your child to come into their class independently. Parents and carers are welcome to bring their children to the doors in Autumn term. We operate an open door policy if you wish to speak to anyone about your child. You can also use your child's reading diary to pass on any non urgent messages. These will be checked regularly by our team.
Tumble Team should enter their classroom via the EYFS gate and automatic doors. Crumble Class should enter their classroom through the KS1 yard.
Please send your child with a fresh water bottle each day and a book bag. Both of which must be labelled.
Healthy snacks and milk are provided by the school.
Rewards
Children will receive house points as an incentive for following our school rules and values. We also reward children's efforts with our recognition tree which is aimed to encourage and reward children as a team. We have a different focus for this depending on what we are working on in class but it could include 'Super Sitting, 'Lovely Listening', 'Waterfoot Walking'
Topic Homework
Our First Days
We have been so proud of how well the children have settled into their new school, learning new routines and meeting new friends. Take a look below at how happy they are, undertaking new independent challenges!
Our First trip to the Woodland
Last week we braved the weather and went to look at our woodland area. We found the basecamps and searched for bugs and plants. We found lots of slugs and mushrooms and learnt about different trees. We talked about how to stay safe in the woods and what we could and couldn't touch.
Wear Yellow Day
We had a wonderful day on Friday wearing yellow and learning about how to keep our brains happy and to spread kindness. We did some happy breathing, yoga, made a yellow picture, went on a minfulness walk searching for yellow in nature, made posters and went on a yellow treasure hunt!
