| What are procedures for reading books? | A reading book has been sent home with your child. When they have finished reading it, they are to bring it back in to school and it will be changed. Books will be changed every Friday. |
| When are PE days? | PE will be every Monday and Thursday this half term
On PE days your child should bring their PE kit to school and they will get changed in the classroom. This is because practising getting changed is an important life skill. |
| PE kit is coloured house t-shirt (red, green, yellow or blue depending on house) and black shorts. Please make sure your child has their full PE kit in school to avoid missing out of PE lessons. | |
| Rewards for hard work & good behaviour. | All children can earn house-points for their house and for themselves.
Children can receive stars for excellent work and behaviour in class. Children are chosen weekly for the My Happy Mind Award. Children who show exceptional behaviour, manners and attitude to learning in the classroom and around the school will be awarded a golden ticket. There is a Golden Ticket draw every Friday during Smile Assembly. |
| Consequences for lack of effort and poor behaviour | Behaviour boards – green – amber – red.
Children will have some reflection time after moving their name down and be given the opportunity to move their name back up. Letters home will be sent for children moving their name to red 3 times in one week. |
| Anything else relevant for your year group | Handwriting practice packs can be accessed through a link at the bottom of this page and have been sent home. Please practise as often as possible with your child. |
