Class Admin This half term our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure your child has a NAMED PE kit in school – shorts, t shirt and trainers/plimsolls. Book bags need to come to school everyday. The children should be changing their reading book in the morning independently. Please ensure you write in your child’s reading log – they get a certificate for every 10 books they read. Please ensure coats and cardigans/jumpers are named – they do go walking and it helps return them to the rightful owner. Golden Plate Registers are taken at 9am. Please ensure you leave promptly so that learning can start.
