Our Class Saint
Our Class Saint: St Patrick
Feast Day: 17th March
Patron Saint of Ireland
Saint Patrick fulfilled his mission of bringing Christianity to Ireland. Following his example, children can share the love and message of Jesus too.
Here are some pictures of our recent learning.

P.E.
For indoor lessons, children wear a plain white t-shirt, navy blue shorts and black PE pumps. PE lessons may take place outdoors and the children will therefore need an outdoor kit kept in school at all times. Children may wear plain navy blue tracksuit trousers, a navy blue jumper, plain white t-shirt and trainers for outdoor lessons. The outdoor kit is optional however trainers are necessary. PE kit must stay in school and will be sent home at half term to be washed. If a child regularly does not have their PE kit in school on their PE day then it will affect their position on ALWAYS.
Swimming
Woodpecker class will be going swimming in the Autumn term (September- December). A letter will be sent out prior outlining everything that they will need. They will need a swimming costume/ trunks, towel and a hat if they have longer hair. They will go swimming every Monday afternoon. They will not have PE while they are attending swimming as this will be their PE for that term.
Please ensure that ALL items of clothing including pumps are labelled with your child’s name.
Homework
All homework will be set on a Monday at 4pm and is due on Sunday by 4pm. This allows your child to do some each night or all in one night. Homework is recorded and monitored and any which is not completed at home will result in your child not being on the ‘Always’ stage for that half term.

Spellings
Children will be assessed and placed into groups for their spellings lessons. Spelling lessons will take place in the mornings and a spelling test will take place every Monday. Spellings are best learnt little and often rather than all the night before.

Times Tables
Your child should also regularly practise their times tables up to 12 times tables. To help with maths progress, they must know all their tables with confidence and be able to recall them rapidly. There are helpful links attached below.

Reading
Each child will also receive a reading record. The record should be filled in every time the child reads at home (minimum 3 x per week). The children should make notes about what they have read each week and have this signed by a parent / carer. This will be checked in school weekly so any parental comments can also be communicated here.
