• Please bring wellies and weather-appropriate clothing for children to keep in school so they can access the outdoor learning space throughout the year.

Any absences/notices of appointments etc please speak to the office.

Reading

• Reading is an essential part of education. If a child cannot read, then they cannot fully access their learning. Children should be able to read most words without sounding them out by the time they finish Y2.
• It is essential that children have regular opportunities to read and listen to stories to develop their understanding of the world. It is a skill, so they need to practise!
• Please listen to your children read every day. It could be before bed, at breakfast, after school, dinner, in the supermarket – literally anywhere! The more we encourage reading, the easier it will be for children to access their learning.
• If you are struggling with supporting your child’s reading, please don’t feel scared to speak to me about it. I am here to support you as well as your children.
