The School Day
Doors open at 8:40am. The morning session runs from 8:50-12:00. Lunch is between 12:00-1:00pm. Afternoons are 1:00-3:15.

Arrival & Registration
On arrival at 8:40, the children put their things away and then go to their registration groups. This is a time to complete a morning activity or sometimes children continue with learning activities set by teachers. The children will stay in their own pastoral groups for registration.

Snacks and Water
Younger Team children have a short break at a flexible time in the morning. A healthy fruit or vegetable snack is currently provided for all children, although parents may prefer to send their own. Please see your parent information pack for the list of healthy snacks but please remember not to send anything with nuts. The children are encouraged to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Phonics for reading and spelling
Phonics is taught daily through a structured, validated scheme. We approach phonics in a similar way each day with opportunities to revisit and learn new sounds, carry out reading and writing activities and apply their knowledge in a range of ways.

Spelling is taught in Years 1 and 2 using a mixture of phonics and other methods. Additional detailed guidance on supporting your child to learn spelling lists is given in a guide for parents/carers. The children have weekly spelling quizzes and new words are sent home as part of home learning. The children keep them for a week to practise ready for the spelling quiz. The Common Exception Words lists specific to each year group will be available on Teams for you to practise throughout the year.

Reading
The use of reading schemes will differ according to each child’s needs. This may vary and change through the year. Children are encouraged to take home books to promote a love of reading. ‘Spot books’ support reading through all stages of the school’s reading schemes. We normally send home two reading scheme books and the children choose two corresponding spot books independently. Reading scheme books are changed by staff weekly. However, children have the opportunity to change spot books daily and share books with their peers.

Children have the opportunity to visit one of our school libraries to choose books. We value parental help to facilitate this. Please contact your child’s teacher if this is an area that you think you could help with.

PE
Your child’s PE kit must be in school every day with each item named. Children need to have shorts (not baggy) and a red T-shirt, as well as a pair of trainers. A sweatshirt and joggers are needed for outside PE during the winter if it is cold. Trainers are also used when running the mile or additional outdoor activities. PE will be on Wednesday and Friday.

Home Learning
Home learning encompasses any activity pupils are asked to do outside of school. This could be reading every day, learning spellings for the weekly quiz, maths on occasions or a topical research project once a term. Home learning does not necessarily need to be written. It could be creating a piece of art, baking cakes, designing a structure, playing games or something else entirely!

Parental Help
We always welcome parents who wish to come in to help, whether this is on a regular basis for activities such as reading, swimming or Forest School, or just occasionally for special days and projects – please contact your child’s main teacher(s).
