Reading Books

Reading books will be changed on a Monday (unless there is a bank holiday, in which case it will be a Tuesday). We encourage re-reading books to develop reading fluency.

Please record reading daily in your child's reading record.

PE

Our PE day will be on a Friday but this will not start until the spring term.
