Croeso i dosbarth Mrs Hill! Here you will find important information about our school week.
PE
Our PE day is a Friday. For PE lessons, children are required to wear PE school uniform i.e. a white t-shirt, navy or black shorts and trainers. Tracksuit bottoms, dark leggings and school jumpers are allowed to be worn during the Winter if PE is to take place outside. Bright colours, crop tops, football kits etc. are not permitted. We follow Local Authority guidelines which states that all jewellery, including stud earrings, must be removed.
Homework and Weekly Tests
Homework is usually put on J2Homework on a Friday and is expected to be completed by the following Thursday. All work should be saved in their J2E online folder. Your child can complete their work in J2Office which saves it automatically into their folder. Alternatively, if work is done on paper, please could your child take a photograph of their work and upload it to their J2E folder. Your child will receive weekly spellings to learn and work linked to our Maths topics.
Spelling words or rules to learn will be given in advance the previous week. Times tables tests will be carried out regularly throughout the week. Children are encouraged to practise all times tables up to 12 x 12.
For guidance on how to access homework on J2Homework please see the link below.
Reading
As of Autumn Term 2022, we will be implementing our new Read Write Inc. literacy schemes. Pupils will begin with Read Write Inc. Phonics and progress through the scheme to Read Write Inc. Comprehension and finally Read Write Inc. Literacy & Language.
Pupils being taught with the Read Write Inc. Phonics scheme will be assessed every half-term and placed in an appropriate group. Pupils will be allocated online Read Write Inc. Phonics Storybooks, accessible via Oxford Owl: www.oxfordowl.co.uk. Pupils will be allocated 1-2 books per week depending on their group, along with a phonics practice quiz. Please speak to your child’s class teacher for information on their username, password and school code.
Please read our Parent booklet for further information on the Read Write Inc. Phonics scheme: Parent Booklet – RWI Phonics
Pupils who progress to Read Write Inc. Comprehension and Read Write Inc Literacy & Language will continue to read Bug Club books. Please read our information on the Bug Club reading scheme for more information: “Bug Club” Reading Scheme / Darllen
