Reading Books

Reading books will be sent home every night. Please help your child by sharing the book with them. Discussion about the story is an important part of sharing the book. Making predictions and talking about the story helps to build children’s comprehension skills.

Each time your child shares a story with you, we would appreciate it if you would comment and sign their reading records. Every time this is done, children are awarded Class DOJO points, which in turn increase their chances to being the top scorers at the end of the week and winning a small prize!

Drinks

As per the school policy, please remember that children should only be bringing in water for hydration throughout the day. This should be in a clearly named container. These will live at the back of the class and will be accessible during the day. We do have a water fountain in class and children have ample opportunity to use it. We always ensure that children are encouraged to drink plenty throughout the day.

PE Sessions

PE this term for Chestnut Class will be on a Tuesday afternoon led by a qualified sports coach from Elite Sports Academy. Please help your child on this day by removing earrings if they wear them. Please ensure your child has their PE kit in school on this day. Thank you.
