Key Information
PE
PE will take place weekly on Monday and Thursday.
On Mondays we will be inside using the hall, therefore indoor kit can be worn:
ALL children should come to school dressed in their PE kit and remain in this all day.
On Thursdays the YEAR 3 CHILDREN ONLY will be swimming.
Year 4 children will be outdoors during their PE lesson on Thursdays. They should come dressed in their PE kit which will include:
Year 3 children should come into school in their school uniform and bring their swimming kit with them in a suitable bag. This should include:
Girls:-
* Please note that in order for your child to benefit from the swimming lessons appropriate aquatic clothing must be worn. Should your children wish to wear items of clothing that cover up parts of the body, there are specific aquatic clothing designed for this purpose. Cotton leggings are detrimental to teaching and are a risk to health and safety.
Boys:-
No Bermuda or long shorts are allowed, as these can be dangerous - for reasons of safety the swimwear should be sufficiently tight fitting to allow the freedom of body and limb movement without causing unsafe water resistance.
Jewellery of any description should not be worn in the School Swimming lesson. It is important that earrings in particular are removed.
Goggles are only permitted for medical reasons. Parents must produce a letter from either a Doctor or Optician to state that your child has a medical condition and is required to wear goggles in the school swimming lesson.
HOME LEARNING
Children are expected to complete home learning activities to help with their Maths and English.
SPELLINGS - Given out on a Monday to practise. They will be tested on Friday.
READING EGGS - Weekly lessons set at your child's reading level - expected to be completed weekly.
MATHS SEEDS or MYMATHS - Online activities linked to classwork - they are expected to complete the weekly activities when set.
TIMESTABLES ROCKSTARS - Children should be aiming to practice their multiplication and division fact recall as often as possible. 5-10 minutes each day is ideal. Knowledge of these facts feeds into almost all other mathematical units we cover throughout the year. Short, frequent practice can be the most useful to support your child with progress in maths.
