Reading:

Home Readers: Children are given home readers. They need to be listened to at least three times a week and have their books signed. Please note, if there is no signature, the week will not be counted towards the reading awards. 

• If they have their book signed 3 times for  10 weeks they receive Bronze award.
• If they have their book signed 3 times for  14 weeks they receive Silver award.
• If they have their book signed 3 times for  18 weeks they receive Gold award.

Children will be assigned to a day on which they will have their books changed. You will be informed of the day for your child via class dojo.  

 AR Reading books:  Children need to read their AR books independently and take a quiz to assess their understanding of the text. They will need to score at least 80% to get a pass. Unfortunately, children can not then resit the test. It is important to make sure that they read it properly with understanding.

These books will be changed at least once a week but there is no designated day for the change - as and when the children have completed the quiz they can have their book changed.

On Wednesday & Thursday, children will need to come to school in their P.E. kits. 

Swimming is usually on Fridays but it is yet to be confirmed from the Daisyfield Pools - You will  be informed of this as soon as possible via class dojo.
