Curriculum
Information
Phonics and literacy
A priority this year is Reading. It is important that ALL children read at least 3 times each week as this is crucial to their development across the whole curriculum. Please listen to your child read and ask them a few simple questions on what they have read to check their understanding. If you need any support with questionning please ask your child's teacher.
We are also working on number bonds to 10, 20 and 100. By the end of Year 1 the children should know the number pairs that equal 10 by heart and by the end of Year 2 the children should know the number pairs that equal 20 by heart and some will know pairs to 100.
Physical Education
Each class has two sessions of PE a week – one inside and one outside.
Term 1 PE days
1D - Monday and Thursday
1T - Monday and Thursday
1/2S - Tuesday and Wednesday
2K - Wednesday and Tuesday
2F - Thursday and Tuesday
Please make sure that the children have the correct kit for their lesson:
Indoor PE: shorts, t-shirt and bare feet in the hall.
Outdoor PE: Shorts, t-shirt and trainers (in warm weather). Jogging bottoms, t-shirt, jumper and trainers (in cold weather).
During all PE lessons, children need to have long hair tied back and earrings removed. It is school policy not to tape over earrings, they must be removed by the children themselves, adults cannot help them with this.
