Water 

It is important that children drink plenty of water throughout the day. Please send children to school with a named water bottle that they can use and refill during the day. 

Breaktime snacks 

The children in Year R have a free snack provided. If your child is a picky eater, they may bring in a snack of fruit / vegetables which can be kept in class until break time.  

Home Reading 

We ask that children read for at least 10 minutes every day with an adult, this can then be recorded in your child's reading record which will be brought home daily and checked in school. We request that children bring their reading book and record to school each day. 

There may be times when we send home optional activities for you to do with your child that support the learning in the classroom. 

Library time

All children have timetabled access to our wonderful library each week. They need to bring their library book back to school on our allotted day which is Friday as we cannot guarantee that they can be changed at other times.
