Snack and water bottles

• Children may bring in a healthy snack from home. This should be kept in their locker.
• Alternatively, children can purchase toast from the school kitchen. This will be ordered in the morning in class, money will be collected via ParentPay. Toast costs 25p.
• Fruit is freely available at breaktimes.
• Water bottles should be filled and brought into school on a daily basis. They will be sent home to be cleaned and refilled at the end of each day.
  PE
• This will take place on a Thursday. On this day children should come to school in their PE kit. 
• All children need to come to school wearing dark shorts, blue polo shirt with school logo, trainers and dark jogging bottoms if cold. We endeavour to have PE outside as much as possible.
  Homework
• Reading:
  Reading books will be changed twice per week. This will take place on a Monday and Thursday. Please read every night for at least 15 minutes. Additional age appropriate reading can be found on the Oxford Owl website and/or through the Year 1 recommended reads list which can be found on our class page. Please comment and record when you have read with your child in their planners.
• Spelling:
  Spellings will be sent out on a Monday. Spellings will focus on the sounds we have looked at in our phonics lessons and common exception words/high frequency words children need to know in Year 1. You can find a list of common exception words for Year 1 in the End of Year One Expectations Booklet on the Year 1 webpage.
