Key Information

Reading books and records should be brought to school daily. Please ensure you child reads regularly throughout the week and an adult signs their reading record. It is important that children are reading as much as possible.

Spelling shed & TTRS log ins can be located inside the front cover of your child's reading record book.

PE days are MONDAY and FRIDAY so please ensure that your child comes to school in their full PE kit that day.

All children are provided with water bottles - please do not send one into school

Please send children into school with a Radcliffe Hall bookbag rather than a backpack - we are limited on cloakroom space and this really helps

Please ensure that all uniform is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

English

The first story we will be reading is How to wash a woolly mammoth. We will be working towards writing our own instructions using time conjunctions.
