Children love to win a book and it really encourages and motivates them to improve their reading whilst at home. Please read with your children every day (or at least 3 times a week) and return their signed reading record and book to school every day. Ask staff for more information. ### Reminder Please ensure children wear suitable clothing and footwear and are provided with a warm coat, hat, scarf, gloves during the winter months. Clothing should be clearly labelled with the child's full name and class. ### P.E. PE will be on Wednesdays. Children will be expected to attend school in school uniform and will change for PE. Requirements for PE kit are as follows: - A white t-shirt - shorts or leggings (short/tracksuit bottoms/leggings for the colder months - Pumps. Please practise dressing and undressing at home.
