Key Stage 2 Information Meeting Mrs Steer Mr Hamilton Miss Spence

Morning Routines Children are now used to lining up in the mornings on the playground and being met by the teachers. When it is raining children should not come in to the classroom before 8:45am. If your child is late, you must report to the school office and they will be escorted to the classroom.

Communication The children will read with an adult 3 times a week in school, whether it be one to one or in a guided reading session and it will be recorded in their reading journal. We ask that your child reads with an adult at home every day and it is recorded in the reading journal. There is support given in the reading journals through comprehension questions as well as activities to support your child’s reading.
