P.E.

P.E. is taught on Mondays in Terms 1-2. Your children should come into school that day wearing their PE kit:

• School jumper
• Black jumper or hoodie can be brought in to wear outside as an extra layer on colder days
• Trainers that can be worn outside

Please ensure that all items are named as this makes it easier to return items if they are mislaid. There should be no large logos or obvious brands on PE clothing.

Forest School

At points during the year, your child will engage in Forest School. When your child is participating in Forest School, they will need to come to school wearing:

• A warm jumper
• A waterproof coat
• Long trousers
• Wellies
• Warm socks

More information will be sent regarding the dates that your child will be taking part in Outdoor Learning. 

Reading 

Reading is fundamental to all children's education. In Upper Key Stage 2, we will be focusing on a range of key skills including information retrieval, summarising main ideas, drawing inferences, predicting what might happen next, word meaning and comparisons within and across texts. 

In addition to the reading that your child will engage with at school, they are expected to read at home at least four times a week and should record their reflection in their reading record. Although your child will be more independent with their reading, it is important that you engage in discussions with their reading and on a regular basis, still listen to them read. As a school, we celebrate and recognise how often your child reads using our 'Reading Around the Universe' initiative. 

Your child is responsible for changing their own book once they have completed it. Please can you work with us to encourage your child to choose books from a variety of genres and authors.
