General Reminders

PE
PE will be on a Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. All children will need: Blue/black shorts, a white t-shirt and pumps or trainers. In colder weather they will need blue/black jogging bottoms and sweatshirt. The children are asked to come into school wearing their PE kit on these days. 

Water Bottles 
It is very important that your child brings a water bottle into school so that they are kept hydrated throughout the school day. Please ensure that the water bottles are clearly labelled and contain only water. It is important that they take them home everyday to be refilled.

Homework
Homework will be set via google classroom. Further information for parents will be sent out about this but the in school the children will be taught how to use it. The homework will be set on a Friday and is to be returned via google classroom the following Wednesday. The children will receive homework that supports their learning and extends their skills. Homework is a vital component so please encourage your child to complete their homework. If there are any issues or questions, please feel free to send me a dojo.
