Important things to remember:

• Children need to wear PE kit to school on Wednesday. 
• We will be providing your child with a reading book bag, they should bring this to school daily along with their reading record and book. At the start of the year, children will choose a story book, whcih can be shared and enjoyed together at home.
• Once we begin phonics, books will be changed when your child can read them fluently and at least 5 times. 
• Each Friday new spelling work is handed out, which needs to be brought back every Friday. The children can go on the bikes if they complete ALL their spellings.
• If your child is now 5 years old, you will need to pay for them to have milk. This is 30p per day.
• If your child wishes to have a slice of toast each day, they need to bring in 20p.
