Reading & Home Learning

Reading books shall be changed on a Tuesday. Please make sure your child's reading pack is in their bookbag every day so we can read with them in school. Don't forget to write in your child's reading journal when they have read at home - you could also pop a note in if there is anything they are finding tricky at home so we can offer tips and advice.

Home Learning is sent out via SchoolPING on Wednesday afternoons. It will contain RWI videos for your child to watch at least once before the following Monday when the videos will no longer being active. We shall monitor who is accessing the videos each week.

Key Person

Your child has been allocated a Key Person. This will be either Miss Franklin, Mr Hobin or Mrs Holden. We are all happy to speak to you regarding your child, but your child's Key Person will be your main contact within school. They will work closely with your child in school and can update you on your child's progress when you would like this information.

We operate an open door policy and we are happy to speak to any parents that wish to speak to us. This is better after school, but if it is something that may affect your child during the school day, then we will be more than happy to listen in the mornings. Miss Franklin, EYFS Class Teacher and EYFS Leader, is always available via email (see main Class Page).
