Here is a useful government parental guide with information on how about keeping children healthy

kids healthy this school year – UK Health Security Agency (blog.gov.uk)

Children who arrive after 8:45am but before 9:15am  will be marked as 'Late' (L) whilst the register is open.  This will not affect the attendance percentage but persistent lateness will lead to parents meeting with senior leaders to discuss possible support and find solutions to prevent further lateness.  Failure to improve lateness may lead to parents been reported to the Local Authority Attendance Team.

Children who arrive after 9:15am (All year groups) will be marked as 'Late' (U) after the register has closed.  This will count against the attendance rate.  Persistent lateness after 9:15am will raise safeguarding concerns and further actions will be taken to support the parents to improve the attendance rate. Parents will be reported to the Local Authority Attendance Team who may have direct involvement with parents.

PE Days

Owls - Tuesday and Friday

Sparrows - Tuesday and Friday

Children in Key Stage 2 will get changed for their PE lesson at school.  Children can either leave their PE kit in school or take it home at the end of PE days or as requested by parents.

PE Kit

• School logo jade t-shirt

• Navy shorts

• White socks (sports socks ideal)

• Plain Trainers – for outdoor games

• Navy School logo hoodie (optional)

Outdoor

• As above
• Grey, black or navy plain tracksuit bottoms or leggings
• Grey, black or navy plain tracksuit top
• Thermal compression tops – ‘skins’ (optional but recommended)
• Gloves (not allowed for sports activities involving hands such as netball, basketball, throwing and catching)

Equipment

• Water bottle (named)
• Pencil case (with required equipment)
• Packed lunch bag
• Small bag to carry homework

Due to very small cloakrooms it is helpful if children only bring a small bag into school. 

We expect all KS2 children to take responsibility for their own belongings.  Children must ensure they have the correct equipment in their pencil case every day.  It is a good habit to check school bags every evening, ready for the following day.

Homework

Reading - It is expected that your child reads at home daily for at least 10 minutes with an adult.  Re-reading a book several times, becoming familiar with tricky words in a book and asking questions to develop reading comprehension skills can be useful. 

Times Tables - Children In Year 3 are expected to have secure knowledge and quick recall of the x2, x10, x5, x3, x4, x8 multiplication facts.

Year 2 are expected to have secure knowledge and quick recall of x2, x10, x5 multiplication facts.

By the end of Year 4 children are expected to have secure knowledge and quick recall of all multiplication facts up to 12x12.  Year 4 children will complete the National Multiplication Check Test in the summer term of Year 4.
