Key Information

Homework

Homework will normally be set on a Friday and will be expected to be returned by the following Wednesday.

Spellings will be given on a Friday and taught throughout the week, with a test on the following Friday.

Reading

We are very enthusiastic about reading at St. Leonard's and we encourage the children to read in school as well as at home. We are lucky to have a wide selection of exciting and engaging children's literature in our classroom and there are books for everyone. Children will be also be able to access our school library to select a book for their reading pleasure.

As well as becoming fluent readers, it is important that children's comprehension and understanding of texts is developed too - it would be wonderful if children could share their books at home and discuss what they are reading with parents and carers.

Labels

There will inevitably be times when children mislay an item of uniform - it is much easier to reunite uniform with the rightful owner if everything is named. Please ensure that all clothing and shoes are labelled to avoid items becoming lost.

PE

In Autumn 1 Wrens PE days are MONDAY and FRIDAY.

Swimming lessons will also take place on Fridays. Details to follow.

Children should come to school dressed in their PE kit.
