Encourage children to love books! • Children will progress at their own level. Please trust us! We want our children to enjoy reading. • Comprehension – showing a good understanding of the text, including reading the words and understanding meaning . Before moving children to the next reading level we will check that they have read a variety of genres. • Every week a child will read at least once to an adult, either as part of a guided reading session or independently. Ideas for reading at home… Reluctant readers!!!

Healthy Eating • At Bournes Infant School we pride ourselves on being a ‘healthy school’. • We have fruit or vegetables during morning break (provided by yourselves) and in the afternoon (provided by the Government). • We encourage parents to provide healthy lunches for their children, as this improves concentration in afternoon sessions. • Water – bring water bottle to school each day. This is so that the children have access to water throughout the day. Children must have a drink in their lunchboxes too – this can be juice or water.
Independence in Year One • Getting dressed and changed in PE. • In Year One we encourage children to take responsibility for their own jumper, water bottle, lunchbox, homework and letters. • Changing their own reading books!
Homework We look forward to seeing the ‘Me collages’! • In Year One there will be a regular homework task set. • Maths homework is directly related to what we have been learning in class. It will give you a good indication whether your child has grasped the concept taught in class. • The ‘Challenge’ is not compulsory. If your child has found the main task manageable then let them have a go. • If your child has any difficulties completing the homework please let us know.
Holiday during term time • Did you know if you take your child out of school for two weeks a year, by the time they sit their eleven plus, they will have missed a whole terms learning? • Holidays during term time are not permitted.
