General Information to know about Year 1 and 2:

• Please ensure that items of clothing are clearly named. This will ensure that if anything goes missing, it can be quickly reunited with its owner.
• PE will be every Wednesday and Friday so please ensure children come to school in their PE kits on these days.
• Please read with your child everyday to help develop their reading skills and nurture their love of reading.
• New Ebooks will be added to the online library every Tuesday. These books will be the same books that your child is reading in school and they should be able to read this independently. In addition, your child will also come home with a school ibary book to share together at bedtime.
• Homework will be sent out on a Friday and is due back the following Wednesday. 
• Please ensure your child has suitable footwear in school (wellies or old trainers) as we go outside and get muddy a lot.
• Children need to bring their own water bottles into school which they can access throughout the day and they will change their water regularly. Please do not allow other drinks such as juice, fizzy drinks etc. If children bring juices, smoothies etc. they should be kept only for lunch. 
• Snack is 20p per day. Children will need to bring their snack money in a purse/wallet that they will hand to one of the adults in the classroom and  kept safe in our snack box.
