PE
PE is currently on a Monday (Tennis) and a Wednesday (Athletics). Please ensure your child has the correct kit (including daps or trainers) on these days.
Reading Books
We are continuing to improve children's reading fluency and comprehension. Please continue to hear your child read as often as possible and use the question based bookmarks to support this process. We encourage children to change reading books as regularly as possible. Please ensure you record any reading that takes place at home with a simple comment inside the small blue book (Reading Record). Finished books can be placed inside the classroom crate on a daily basis but they will not be changed unless the reading record has been written in.
Over the course of the term I will continue to update this class page with all the different things that are going on in Year 1/2.
