A Start of Term Note from Mr McKie...

Our School Day

• Our doors open at 8.40am for a prompt start at 8.45am. The day concludes for Year 5 at 3.20pm.

• Pupils who are travelling to school independently may bring a mobile phone with them. However, once at school, their phone must be turned off and stored in the class phone box in the school office until the end of the day.

PE Lessons

•  PE lessons take place on Thursdays and Fridays. Pupils should wear their PE equipment to school on both of these days. 

Homework and Spellings

• Our homework tasks will be available via Century Tech. This will be assigned on Friday and due in on the following Friday.

• The children will also receive their weekly spellings on a Friday, with a test on the following Wednesday. Spellings will be given out on paper for the children to take home.

Reading Expectations

• The children will be given a school reading book, which is suited to their assessed reading level. This, along with a school reading diary, will be given to them in the second week of term. The children are required to read their school reading book to an adult four times a week. Each instance of reading needs to be signed off by an adult in their reading diaries.
