PE – we do PE at least once a week. Please leave this at school throughout the week.

7. Support At Home
Each child will have a Communication Diary and a Home School Diary which will go home.
Every week they will bring home a ‘Learning Letter’ detailing what they have been learning about and ideas for how you can help at home.
The children will also have a ‘Learning Journey’, which stays at school. We encourage you to add to this throughout the year.

General day to day information share in mornings/end of day.
Concerns which require a longer chat, please ask for an after school meeting.
