New Parents Evening 2019

Here is the presentation from the introduction evening. We hope you find it useful. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Welcome to class SEH

PE will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays although we do some physical activity every day so PE kit needs to be in school at all times. 
During the winter we ask that all children have appropriate outdoor kit so we can get out in the colder weather. Please keep PE kits in school at all times and regularly check them to ensure kit (including daps or trainers) fits properly when it is sent home at the end of each term and is washed ready for the new term. Please also ensure EVERYTHING IS NAMED to minimise lost property. 

Swimming will be on Fridays 9- 10:30am during term 1 and on Monday 1.30-3 in terms 5 and 6. All children need a swimming costume or trunks, towel and hat for this. Please don't forget to name all kit. Swimming lessons cannot run wuthout parental help so please do sign up on the rota on the classroom door if you are able to help with a session. All helpers need to have  DBS check so please see the office for a form and do not sign up until this has come through.

Homework

Please could you support your child with their homework.

• Spellings will be tested and given out on Thursdays. The children have Look, Cover, Write, Check sheets and we ask that they practise their spellings at least three times in a week. We will be testing the common exception words three times a year. These are kept in the childrens spelling books and are colour coded orange, green and yellow for each long term. Please see our Spelling Bee Information here.
• Reading daily with your child is very important. We would suggest that your child reads for a minimum of five times a week for around ten minutes each session- little and often is usually best! Please comment in, and sign your child’s reading record every time they read to you.
• Maths homework- If you wish to support your children at home in maths, we would suggest encouraging them to practise counting to 100, in steps of two, five and ten, recalling pairs of numbers that add up to 10 and, if appropriate, 20. We also recommend undertaking practical tasks such as board games where the children must count on and back, creating art work using different shapes, weighing ingredients for cooking, paying for items in shops and telling the time. All children have been provided with a Doodle Maths login and we suggest this is practised 2-3 times a week. 

Topics

This term Years 1 & 2 will be learning a range of skills through our topics 'Food and Farming' and 'Festivals', including learning about Christmas in Victorian Times. We have a visit to Warleigh Lodge Farm in term 1 to support our topic .
