| What are procedures for reading books? |
Children are responsible for changing their own reading books in school. Reading books can be changed in school on any day and children need to let their teacher know when they have changed their book so their reading record can be updated. Teachers will prompt and remind the whole class each morning to change their books. Children are encouraged to be independent when changing their reading books. There is no set day to change their books. |
| When are PE days? | Tuesday
Thursday *Please be informed that our class’ PE days will vary depending on their scheduled turn with the PE coach. You will be informed when this is the case. Please send your child into school wearing their PE kit on PE days. |
| PE kit is coloured house t-shirt (red, green, yellow or blue depending on house), black shorts and black pumps.
Swimming kit should be appropriate length shorts (no speedos) or a swimming costume. This should be sent into school with a separate bag including a towel. Children are encouraged to bring goggles as well. More information will be sent out nearer the time. |

| Rewards for hard work & good behaviour. | All children can earn house-points for their house and for themselves.
Smile Assembly celebrates achievements and good behaviour weekly with My Happy Mind Awards and an Always ticket draw. Class reward tokens will earn the whole class a reward when they reach 100. |
| Consequences for lack of effort and poor behaviour | Letters will be sent home if your child has to move their name to red 3 times during a half term. |
