Autumn 1

Wow! What an amazing start to this year. It has been wonderful hearing all about your summer holidays and to begin to get to know everyone. I have been blown away by the positive attitude that everyone has returned with and can't wait for the rest of the year. 

We will have forest school sessions every Friday this half term in the afternoon beginning on the 5th of September, so please ensure that you have all the correct clothing for this which has been sent to you in an email. 

PE days for at least this half term will be Monday and Thursday. 

The children will have regular homework this year which will be as follows:

• Reading at home 4 times a week and recording this in their reading record. The reading record must be brought into school each day and will be checked on a Friday.
• 17-21 minutes of TimesTables Rockstars per week which will be checked on a Friday. The children must complete this time on Garage.
• Once a term, each child will prepare a 2–3 minute presentation on a given topic. The first topic will be 'My favourite book'. Once a timetable has been finalised it will be sent out to you. I expect the first presentation to take place in early October.
• Once a term, there will be a project-based homework task that focusses on a foundation subject. More information will be given on this once it has been set.

Best Wishes,
