Morning Registration
The children can come into the classroom from 8.40am, ready for the school day to begin with registration at 8.45am.

End of the school day
Please wait outside the classroom door at the end of the school day. Always ensure that you contact the school office if your child is going home with another adult – or another child in the class – as safeguarding procedures require this instruction.

Water bottles
Please ensure that your child brings to school a water bottle for them to drink from during the day. Please do not send your child with juice in their class water bottles.

Uniform
Please label your child’s school uniform as it can make it difficult for us to identify lost items if they are not labelled. When playing games, the children will often take off their jumpers and cardigans and leave them on the yard, which results in staff spending a long time tracking belongings down.

Book bags
If possible, please purchase a school book bag from the school office as they are extremely useful for keeping reading books and homework safe and organised (especially when extra worksheets are sent home). Rucksacks should be avoided due to space limitations.

Homework
As you know, homework is an important part of consolidating the children’s knowledge of what they learn in school. The children will receive times tables sheets everyday which are to be completed and handed in the following morning. They will also receive either Maths or English homework every Friday to be returned by the following Wednesday. Spellings will be handed out on a Monday ready for a spelling test on a Friday.

The children will all be given a home reading book which MUST come into school daily. Please support your child with reading by encouraging them to read for at least 15 minutes per day.

Year 4 have PE each Monday. The children should come into school wearing their PE kits on this day. On the cooler days, the children can wear plain black jogging bottoms or leggings over their PE shorts. Football kits and leisure wear are not permitted.
