Reading

• Children are expected to read at home at least 5 times per week to improve both reading comprehension and fluency.  Accelerated Reader (our reading incentive that follows REDTED) will be formally introduced to children and parents early in the Autumn Term.
• Write in your child's Reading Record every time they have read at home. We also encourage children in Year 2 to write their own comments.  Children will receive a raffle ticket for every fives reads logged in their Reading Record.  The more raffle tickets children earn, the more likely they are to win a book at the end of each term.
• Children will have the opportunity to change their book in class once they have completed and passed the book's Accelerated Reader quiz.  In Year 2, children choose their own reading books.
• Ensure that reading books and Reading Records are in school everyday so staff can log any reading children do in school.

P.E.

• Hares Class have P.E. lessons every Thursday.
• Children must come to school dressed in the school's P.E. uniform on P.E. days.
• Ear studs, hoops and rings are not permitted on P.E. days; please make sure that all jewellery is removed from your child before coming to school.
• PE will take place inside and outside during the Autumn Term, depending on the weather.

Home Learning

• Children should read at home at least 5 times per week.
• Children should complete Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes within 24 hours of finishing a book. If you are finding it difficult to access AR, please speak to your child's class teacher. Please find the link below to access AR and type your child's username and password when prompted: https://ukhosted44.renlearn.co.uk/8045754
• We do not usually set formal home learning activities., but we do expect all children to read at home as much as possible and log this reading in their Reading Record.

Forest School

• Your child will attend a Forest School session once a fortnight.
• Clothing will be kept at school. 
• Children should have wet weather suits for these sessions to ensure that they are covered and safe.
• Children are split into either Group A or Group B.
• Children are actively encouraged to become very involved in Forest School life. Therefore, please do not be surprised if they have mud on their outdoor clothing; it is all part of the experience of developing the whole child and their resilience skills. We will do our best to ensure mud is washed off hands.  However, please understand this is also part of our aim to increase resilience and the love of the outdoors.
