Class Dojo
We will continue to use Class Dojo as a means of communicating with you.
Please ensure you have downloaded the app to your phone.
You are also able to contact me via Dojo messenger for any queries you may have.
Uniform
All pupils are expected to wear school uniform.
Uniform is as follows:
White polo shirt/blouse/shirt
Grey skirt/pinafore/trousers
Royal blue cardigan/jumper/hoody (does not require the school logo)
Black shoes
On designated P.E.days, pupils are permitted to wear their P.E. kit to school.
Our PE day is a Monday.
PE kit consists of:
White t shirt or polo shirt
Black shorts or jogging bottoms
Trainers
Following WG Guidance re: COVID-19, we ask that pupils wear clean uniform every day. We advise parents/carers to wash clothes daily as soon as children return from school.
Reading
As a school, we use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme.
Your child will bring their reading book, sounds and words home daily. Please ensure they are returned to school daily. Try to talk to your child about the book they are reading, and ask questions about the characters, the setting (where the story takes place) and the plot (what happens in the story), as well as asking them to make predictions about what they think might happen. Pupils' understanding of the text is as important as their ability to read it, and we will continually focus on these skills throughout the year.
Every time you listen to your child read, practise their sounds and words please ensure you record the date, page number and a comment in the yellow reading record book.
Homework
Homework will be sent every Friday.
We ask, where possible, for all homework to be completed by Monday.
Please work with your child to help them complete their homework, but we kindly ask that pupils write their answers/responses themselves.
It is also important that pupils understand what they have written in their homework. So, if for example, they are asked to find information about something, they shouldn't simply copy information from the internet, but instead try to put it into their own words.
Clothing & Personal Belongings
Please ensure that all items of clothing, as well as drawstring bags, packed lunch bags and water bottles are clearly labelled with your child's name.
Pupils should avoid bringing any unnecessary items into school.
We do not allow pupils to bring in rucksacks, only drawstring bags, their reading bag, water bottle and packed lunch bag/box (if not having a school lunch).
Packed Lunches
As a school, we continuously encourage and promote healthy packed lunches.

Playtime Snacks
Pupils are only permitted to eat fruit or cereal bars at playtimes.
Drinks
Pupils are only permitted to drink water throughout the school day.
Please therefore ensure that if you are providing your child with a drink for use during the day, bottles are only filled with plain water (this does not include drinks with packed lunches).
At present, water fountains remain out of use. However, pupils can refill their water bottle from the classroom taps which are safe for drinking purposes.
