Reading Books - reading is vital to support progress in all curriculum areas.

It is important that reading records and books are in school every day and signed prior to being changed.
P.E - P.E in school will take place on a Monday afternoon and a Friday morning. Children should have both their indoor and outdoor kits in school. Please make sure that they have all the necessary kit in school ready for these sessions.
