Please can PE kits be in school all week as we have a number of sport sessions throughout the week.

P.E - every Thursday. The children will come home in their PE kits.

Cricket - The children will have cricket sessions every Tuesday.

Reading books - books will be changed every Monday and Thursday. We will listen to the children reading a book linked to their current phonics level in school at least once a week.
