P.E:  Please make sure that all P.E kit is in school every day, as times may change. Kits can be taken home once a half term to be washed. Unless the weather is awful, PE takes place outside so suitable clothing is needed.

Please remember to name all items of clothing. 

You will need the following items:

• Jumper/hoodie
• Tracksuit bottoms
• T-shirt
• Shorts (no pockets or fastenings)
• Socks
• Trainers/plimsolls

All PE kit items should be separate from those worn to school. Children will not be allowed to participate if PE is incorrect/incomplete. 

Spare Clothes: We would appreciate it if you could put spare clothes in the children's PE bag (particularly underwear).  

Book bags: Please bring these to school each day along with reading book and ensure that you have your reading book and yellow reading record so that we are able to change books and listen to you read each week.  Please hear your child read on a daily basis, as this support will be very beneficial towards their progress. 

Water bottles: All children should bring a water bottle to school to ensure that they stay hydrated throughout the day. The bottles should only contain water, no juice.

These are kept in the classroom during school time.

Homework: Will be sent home on a Monday or Tuesday. It will usually consist of spellings to learn for Friday and some maths to be completed by the following Monday. Your child will also receive a weekly phonics practice sheet.

Pens and pencils: All stationery is provided by school. Both year groups use pencils for writing.

If you would like to speak to us about anything regarding Reception and Year 1, please see the office about arranging an appointment.

Muddy Education Trip - May 2025

Red class enjoyed the trip to Muddy Education. They went on a nature hunt where they learnt about deciduous trees, wild and garden plants. Following this, they had great fun pond dipping where they found a variety of wildlife! After a picnic lunch in the sunshine, they participated in dissecting owl pellets and discovered what the owls had been eating! We found lots of bones including skulls and jaws of birds, voles and mice! Finally, in small groups we had the challenge to create a home/habitat for different woodland animals such as a bat or badger. We had a great time and learnt a lot too!
