Indoor PE will be with a sports coach on a Tuesday. Outdoor PE will be on a Thursday (weather permitting). Please ensure your child has an indoor PE kit in school on these days.

Phonics
Phonics is a key part of our learning in EYFS and KS1. It is the basis of how we read and how we write and spell words. You can learn more about what phonics is and how we teach it here. There are also resources on the page such as sound mats and word lists, as well as ways you can help your child with their reading at home.
Homework
Please read with your child as often as possible. Children will read at least once a week in school as well as guided reading sessions. Please sign your child’s book every time you hear them read.
Homework this half term will set weekly with a Maths or English theme.
