At the start of the academic year, each class are asked to choose 5 rules that their class should adhere to throughout the school year. In September, the children in Kangaroo Class chose the following for their class code:

• Respect and listen to adults


• Use kind words and actions 


• Respect equipment


• Complete my work to the best of my ability


• Put my hand up when I want to speak

Our class code also underpins, and links very closely, to our Aspirational Beehive which can be seen throughout school and in our classroom: the core values are the skills and attributes that are rewarded for demonstrating within the school environment.

Home learning will be provided at the start of each half term. This will be in the form of a menu that includes activities which are based on the learning that has taken place in class. Pupils will have approximately 5 weeks to complete at least one of the given activities - the more they can complete, the better as home learning will be then shared in class and during our Fabulous Finish event.

Spellings will be given weekly, with pupils tested every Friday.

Regular reading is also essential for children to further extend their vocabulary and to experience a range of writing styles and genres. Children will be sent home from school with a reading book and their reading record every Friday and this book should be read with them at least three times a week, with a comment in their record books.

Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure that on these days, children have correct PE kit (white t-shirt, black shorts and trainers). Please ensure that the footwear and clothing they wear is appropriate as we will be using the school field as often as possible. If the weather is forecast for poor weather, please send suitable warm clothing.
