Term 1

Dear Parents / Carers,

It was lovely to welcome Hawk Class back after their summer break!

All the children were excited to see their friends, and were keen to spot the changes that had been made in the classroom.

On our Hawk Class page, you will find an overview of our learning for Term 1 across all subject areas.

Please find below information about our class routines and things your child will need each day.

Water Bottles

All children require a water bottle in school each day to keep them hydrated. There is a tray in the classroom to store these, and the children are able to refill these as needed throughout the day. They take their water bottle out with them at break times and to lunch.

PE Days

PE days for Years 1 and 2 will be Mondays and Wednesdays. Please can children attend school on these days in their PE kits. For health and safety reasons, jewellery should not be worn on these days, and long hair should be tied back.

Wellies

As the autumnal weather is approaching and we use the adjacent field for our break times, the children require a pair of named wellies in school. Hawk Class keep their wellies in their cloakroom next to their coat peg.

School Bags

 It would be helpful if your child could refrain from bringing a backpack to school. Our cloakroom is very limited with space, especially when the colder weather arrives and children bring in coats and fleeces. We have a tray in the classroom for storing book bags.

Reading Books

All children have their reading books changed on a Friday – please ensure your child brings their book and reading record to school on this day. The total number of times your child has read at home in the week are also totalled on this day. Those who have met our school reading expectations of five or more times will have their names entered into our end of term Star Reading Raffle.

Show and Tell

We have ‘Show and Tell’ on a Friday,  and this is a lovely opportunity for children to share with the class things they have made, written or information about places they have visited (Please note we do not show toys from home).

If you need to contact me with regard to your child, you are welcome to email me or speak with me at the end of the school day.

Kind regards,

Mrs Milverton
