Key Information:

Start and finish time:

• School starts at 9:55am
  • Families can enter the school premises at 8:45am. Please ensure that children are NOT being allowed to come onto the school site, alone, before 8:45. They are unsupervised and this is a safeguarding/ health and safety issue. 
• School finishes at 15:30 and children will be let out on the bell. 

PE days:

• PE day is every Wednesday and children should come to school dressed in their PE kit. They do not need a change of clothes. Please note that it will be Scotty who leads this session but this IS NOT a Scotty Heroes session as he will be following the PE curriculum.

• Children will need to wear black/navy shorts or sports trousers, a white t-shirt and long-sleeved jumpers are advised for outdoor PE.
• Children with long hair must have it tied back and earrings need to be taken out or covered with a plaster.
• If for any reason your child cannot take part in PE, can you please send your child with a note to let their teacher know.

Extra information:

• Children are able and should bring a water bottle to school. 

• The school does not provide children in year 3 with milk or snacks. If you would like your child to have milk then please arrange this with the school office. You may provide your child with a healthy snack (nothing containing nuts) if you wish to do so. 

• A reading book will be given to your child to take home and they are able to change this on a FRIDAY. It is also recommended that your child reads online using Bug Club as they are able to access all books on there. Your child has also been given a Bedrock password which a learning app that focuses on vocabulary. We recommend that your child reads at least 5 times a week and that an adult signs their planner to show when they have read. Reading on Bug Club and Bedrock will count towards the 5 reads per week but please document this in your child's planner. 

• A Reading Passport book has also been given to your child. This book can also be changed on a FRIDAY. The purpose of this book is to spark children's love of reading as they are able to choose a book that they are interested in. The book can be read to them by an adult and therefore doesn't have to be at their reading level. 

• Your child has been given passwords for Bug Club, Times table Rockstars/Numbots, and Bedrock. Please access these at home. Certificates for these will be handed out in Golden Book assemblies on a Friday.
