1B have on Monday and Friday. 1KY have PE on Tuesday and Thursday. 1C have PE on a Thursday and Friday.
We have tried hard to develop our learning environments and our curriculum to ensure a smooth transition from the Foundation Stage to the National Curriculum. Play and exploration are still at the heart of our curriculum and we are committed to ensuring our classrooms are stimulating and purposeful.
Children are issued with homework every Thursday. The homework will alternate between Phonics, English and Maths.
Reading books will be changed twice a week. Children’s reading records are stamped for each time they are listened to read at home and given a reward for every 10 stamps they receive.
Spellings will be given out on a weekly basis and relate to sounds and words they have been learning in school. Common Exception words for each half term will be sent home to practise as well.
