PE
PE lessons will be on Tuesday and Friday for Year 1 and 2. Please make sure your child comes dressed in their PE kit on these days. The children will be learning the key skills required to play football! Lessons will be outside, weather permitting, so please make sure they are dressed appropriately as the weather gets colder.
Reading Books
Children are expected to read their reading book at least three times before moving on to the next book. This is because each read serves a different purpose. The initial read of a new book allows the child time to blend any unfamiliar words, and this read is often slower and less fluent. The second read allows for the child to read more fluently, hopefully remembering any words they struggled with the previous read. Finally, the third read allows the child to fully comprehend what they have read, now that they have been able to read quickly and fluently without blending. They should be able to answer the comprehension questions at the end of the book after this read. Sometimes children may need to read a book more than three times, in which case their book will not be changed until they are ready to move on. Reading books will be changed on Mondays and Thursdays.
Books will not be changed unless an adult has recorded three reads of the book within the reading record.
