Reading
As children get older, their decoding skills typically become more automatic — which means it's the perfect time to focus on vocabulary development and overall understanding of what they read. Encourage your child to regularly check whether they truly understand the story. If something doesn’t make sense, take a moment to talk it through together — this kind of discussion really helps to strengthen comprehension skills.
Please also ensure your child is bringing home books from the correct book band. If you're unsure, feel free to speak to your child’s teacher for guidance. These foundational reading skills are incredibly important and support everything your child does across the curriculum — they truly are not to be underestimated!

Writing
In English, our focus will be on writing to entertain.

PE and Outdoor Learning
PE kit can be worn to school providing it is a full school track suit with a jacket and trousers. Otherwise, the children can come to school in their school uniform and bring in PE kit to change into at lunchtime.

Outdoor learning is on alternate Friday afternoons. Children will be provided with waterproof jackets and trousers, so no longer need to come in their own clothes. Ideally, they will leave wellies (or other suitable outdoor waterproof footwear) in school as we will be going outside on other days too, as part of our regular lessons. As the weather gets colder, a hat and gloves would be a great addition to their kit.
