Early morning routine – the school gates open at 8.15 and children will be welcomed into class at 8.25. From here, the children will organise their things and come into the classroom where they will complete morning tasks linked with Maths or English followed by quiet reading time while the register is taken. Registration closes at 8.40.

End of the day routine– The day ends for the children at 3.05pm. After FYT bus children have been collected I will dismiss the rest of the class from the back gate.

I ask that you regularly check that all clothing is clearly labelled, especially jumpers and coats, including P.E. kit, and that all children are provided with a hat in hot weather, and a coat when it is cold or wet. It’s important to get the children out at playtime every day, even in light rain.

Our PE lessons will take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but we will sometimes switch the Wednesday to a Friday when we have our Dance specialist in. On these days, children should attend school in their P.E. kits. Please could all children be provided with some jogging bottoms in the winter, as P.E. will continue even when the weather has turned colder.

Forest school will be on a Tuesday afternoon. Children should have their wellies and waterproofs at school ready for this session every week.

Each child will be given a reading record so that any reading done at home or school can be logged. Even 5 minutes at home each day makes a huge difference. These books are mainly for home reading, as we will be studying quality texts together as a class. We have a fantastic library here, as well as a mini version in our classroom for children to enjoy during quiet reading time.
