PE

We have PE every Tuesday and Friday

What we are learning in PE – netball and indoor athletics

Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing; this can be in the form of plain black tracksuit bottoms or plain black shorts and a plain white or red t-shirt. If children wear all-black trainers with no other colours on as their school shoes, these can also be worn for PE

No jewellery is to be worn on PE days.

Homework

Every child is expected to complete their three-weekly reads, access TT Rockstars and practice their spellings.

Children need to read at home at least 3 times per week and log this on Boom Reader. Children who do not complete and log their three weekly reads on BoomReader will catch up on their reading during Friday breaktime.

Children need to learn their spellings each week.
