6. Developing Independence
How can we help? Everything labelled. Develop children's independence (Home Reading books). Practise changing at home - Use a mirror to do top button. - Teach to un-do ties if not elasticated. - Tie their shoe laces. - Ideally, we would like the children to use the toilet at appropriate times of the day.

7. Behaviour
The class have created their own ‘Class Charter’, where we have agreed our class expectations. However, all children are still required to adhere to the School Behaviour Policy and are aware of the traffic light system. If a child has chosen to break a School/Class rule, they will be given a warning, if repeated there will be an appropriate sanction.

8. Behaviour: Traffic Light System
Green – Expected Behaviour Orange – Verbal Warning Red – Incurs Sanction

9. Behaviour: Traffic Light System
If a child is put on the red light three times in a day or five times over a week - then you will be informed. Next steps: Time out Report Card/Behaviour Chart Internal exclusion/Fixed-term external exclusion

10. Reading
Children who read regularly, share books and listen to adults reading, become readers!
Everyday, your child will take part in a variety of reading activities which will include applying their phonics, independent reading, shared reading and Reading Reconsidered.
When your child takes part in a whole class reading session they will be taught using texts that offer challenge as they learn new skills. (Reading reconsidered and Talk for Writing)
There will be communication shortly regarding the introduction of a new school diary.

11. How can you help?
Children will bring home a colour banded reading book that they should be able to read independently. They may need a prompt from you and this should be a relaxed, happy time. Some children may take longer than others to become independent readers. It is really important for them to share books with adults as they work towards being a reader. The children can change their reading books once they have finished with it. They will be encouraged to do this independently. If your child forgets to change their reading book they are welcome to come back in to change it at the end of the day.

Children will be using school jumpers within the winter months. Please can those children with pierced ears either remove earrings on P.E days or bring tape to cover. Please make sure your child has their hair tied back.
