E-Safety • E-Safety is an important focus on the curriculum. • Throughout the year we teach children the importance of how to use the internet safely. We also tell the children to approach an adult if they are worried or unsure about something when using the internet. • We also ask you as parents/carers to ensure your children understand how to be safe on the internet. • If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to approach us.
Daily Reading • Books will be checked daily and changed once finished. • Please sign the reading record every day and write the page numbers that have been read. • Please check that your child is able to comprehend and answer questions about the book. • If the reading record is not signed daily children will miss part of their break that day.
Home work • Cover books with a clear plastic cover. • Keep your books neat. • Please stick the sheets given for homework in their homework book on individual pages. Use both sides of the page. • Encourage your child to do their homework independently, giving them help where needed. • Please use a writing pencilto do the homework. • All homework (English, Maths and Times Tables) will now be given out on a Thursday and due back in the following Tuesday. • Spellings will be given out on a Thursday in their spelling book and children will be tested in the same spelling book the following Wednesday. • Children will get at least 1 piece of R.E. homework every half term. Topic/Research homework may be given if needed.
Collection • Please wait near the sign to collect your child. • Please don’t crowd near the ramp as it is difficult for other parents to come through and leave the playground. • Please fill in the collection form with names of people who are likely to collect your child from school. • Please inform the office if someone different is going to collect your child as they will not be released to an unknown person.
