It is important that children have a pair of pumps in school with their name in so they can change into these if working in the hall. This is to keep the hall floor clean as the children sit on the floor.
Spellings:

Reading Books:

Children receiving Read, Write, Inc books will be required to read their book at least 3 times before returning it to school. This is to support learning, as these books are linked to the sounds children will be learning that week. Over-learning and repetition is important for progress.
