Forest School

On your Forest School day, please come to school wearing clothes appropriate for the weather with wellies and waterproofs in a named bag. Even when it is not raining, we have many muddy and wet activities at Forest School so make sure you bring appropriate clothing all year round.

Active School

Every school day is an active school day in Chestnut class. You can wear a yellow polo shirt, jumper and black leggings, joggers and shorts everyday of the week to enable us to do daily physical activity to develop our gross motor skills.

Homework

Reading

School reading books will be sent and we will change them regularly. Your child needs to come to school with their book bag containing their books and reading records into school every day. Please read with your child every day and record this in your reading record. In your reading record entry, please include the name of the book, how many pages read and anything your child did well or needed help with. This enables us to support them with any targets in school. We really want reading to be enjoyable for both you and your child. We have found for this to be most successful, it is best to read little and often. I recommend that you spend 10-15 minutes reading with your child each day. A fun way to encourage shared reading is to alternate reading a page to your child and your child reading a page to you. Reading to your child supports their development of vocabulary, understanding of the world around them and their comprehension skills.
