PE days reminder
On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their PE kit as detailed in our uniform policy . (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.

Home learning heroes
Thank you for all the emails, photos and learning that you have shared during our zoom sessions. Everyone has done their best in these difficult circumstances and that is all we can ask for. Enjoy a well-earned half term break.
Have a listen to this super reading fluency.
Sometimes, learning goes off in a different direction – which is fine! Feeling proud of an achievement is great motivation to learn. Making a sock dispenser, using toys to count, baking a cake or finding out which materials are waterproof are all valuable lessons!
And to make learning even more exciting…some people like to dress up…
End of unit quizzes
Have a go at our quizzes to see what you can remember from the Science and Geography learning this half term.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BORIS JOHNSON
Children’s Mental Health Week
Children’s Mental Health Week is taking place on 1-7 February 2021. This year’s theme is Express Yourself.
Here are some activities and ideas for you and your child(ren) to complete at home together. You can also download it here.
Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. It is about finding a way to show who you are, and how you see the world, that can help you feel good about yourself.
As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Check out the free resources.
Don’t forget to email your teachers with any photos or messages of your activities about Children’s Mental Health Week.
Thank you!
