PE Days and Equipment Needed
PE is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Children will need their red polo shirt, black shorts and trainers. In the winter we will still go outside for some PE lessons if it is dry so warm clothing is advisable! Jogging bottoms or leggings plus a warm top such as a school hoody would be great. If your child wears earrings, they will need to take them out for PE lessons. If they cannot do this independently, they should leave them at home on PE days. Other jewellery should not be worn to school.
Trainers need to be in school every day as the children run the Daily Mile on the days that they don't have PE.
Water bottles should be brought in and taken home every day.
Please do not send pencil cases or any stationary into school as it only causes upset when lost or used by other children. It's great for homework though!
Homework
Homework will be sent home on a Friday and should be returned the following Friday. Children who complete their homework to a good standard and hand it in on time will receive a Grove Award. Spelling will be checked each Friday in the form of a dictation.
Fruit
Fruit is not provided for children in Key Stage 2 so this will need to be sent in from home. It does need to be a piece of handful of fruit or vegetables not snack bars or processed fruit snacks.
Books
Children on Little Wandle will have their books changed on a Wednesday. Children on the school reading scheme will change their own books as they finish them. Library books are changed on a Friday. Books and reading records are sent home every night and should be returned to school the next day. Please leave a comment and initial your child's reading record when you listen to them read and they will receive a sticker. A Grove Award will be given for 10 stickers.
