In class with me is Miss Young.
Here is some general information to help you with our class

P.E. is on Thursday and Friday. Please come into school on those days wearing your P.E kit (a white t-shirt, blue tracksuit bottoms or leggings and suitable trainers). You do not need to bring in your school uniform.
Homework
Reading
Our home reading scheme is based on fully decodable books linked to our phonics programme and includes a range of books. Please read your reading book every night at home or a minimum of three nights a week - you will receive a star for every night your read! These stars will add up and the class star reader will be rewarded. Please bring your book bag in to school every day. Books will be changed weekly on a Thursday.
You will also be able to choose a library book to take home with you.
Maths
Maths homework will be set weekly on a Thursday on Purple Mash - this will be based on our maths learning that week.
Other Information
Please bring in a water bottle each day - these will be sent home at the end of each day.
School starts each day at 8:55 - I will be waiting on the playground for you.
Morning break time is 10:30-10:45.
Lunch time is 12-1 - we eat dinner in the school hall first and then go out to play.

The children loved maths, phonics and science this half term. Here are a few photographs of them enjoying their learning. In science the children identified different animals and what they eat. They then went on to comparing features of animals and grouped them according to their features.
