P.E
We ask that the children have their P.E
kits in school on their pegs at all times.
They can take their kits home at the
end of every half term for washing. P.E
will take place every Tuesday and
Friday. Earrings MUST not be worn.
School policy states children are only
allowed to wear a wrist watch and one
plain stud in each ear.
As part of our healthy schools policy we
offer fresh fruit during break time.
Children do need to bring in their own water
bottles every day.
The children may have the opportunity to use the
outdoor areas in all weathers. Please make sure
they come to school with the appropriate
clothing to do so.
Our Golden Charter
During the first week of this half term we have
worked with the children to establish our rules and
routines.
Rights
 We have the right to be
safe.
 We have the right to be
happy.
 We have the right to learn.
 We have the right to
speak.
 We have the right to work
in a clean and tidy
classroom.
Responsibilities
 We have the responsibility
to look after ourselves and
each other.
 We have the responsibility
to be polite and kind to
each other.
 We have the responsibility
to always try our best.
 We have the responsibility
to listen to everyone
carefully.
 We have the responsibility
to tidy up after ourselves.
We always use positive praise and a sticker chart
system to motivate the children however; there are
consequences such as missing a playtime if your child
does not follow their responsibilities as a learner. If
your child does miss a play time we will always
endeavour to inform you.
The activities that the children will enjoy will be planned from
the 2014 National Curriculum. The topic for this term is
Marvellous Me and Fire and Ice.
In English we will be focusing on basic sentence construction
and in Maths the focus will be on Place Value, Addition and
Subtraction.

The children will also bring home a
class library book every Friday.

Other Information
As always, the priority of all staff is the happiness, welfare
and academic success of all of our pupils. To this end teachers
will always meet any parent/carer who has a query or concern
about any aspect of their child’s welfare or progress in school.
However, we politely ask you to make an appointment with the
office if you wish to speak to a member of staff, in order to
arrange a mutually convenient time for a private conversation.
General messages may be passed on before school to staff
members on the gate as the children arrive in the morning.
Please be assured that in the event of any problem, we will
contact you. Therefore, please inform us, as soon possible, of
anything which may affect your child’s well-being or
performance at school so that your child may be supported as
necessary. Please also ensure that all contact details are up
to date.
School opens to pupils at 8.45am, to allow the children to come
in and settle down in preparation for the start of school at
8.55am. Please be aware that school does not have a
responsibility to provide supervision for any child arriving
before 8.45am unless they are attending Breakfast Club
(details of which are available from the school office) and we
ask that you remind your child to wait sensibly at the door until
admission time if they arrive at school a little early.
Lessons end at 3.15p.m. Children get ready to go home following
the bell. Please wait for your child to be handed over by a
member of staff outside the ‘Rainbow Gates.’ Please do not
cross the marked area as it makes it difficult to for
staff members to see parents/carers.
