A very warm welcome to Miss Harding’s class page.  I hope that you find the information below useful.

Welcome to the summer term! 

PE

Our outdoor PE day is THURSDAY with our visiting instructor, Matt.

Our swimming time is Friday morning.

Children must wear their school uniform everyday and bring in their PE kit on their PE days. This should be a red plain or Saltford t shirt and black shorts or jogging trousers and trainers (Please send velcro fasteners if your child is unable to tie their laces) and a fleece type jacket.  Please ensure that all items are clearly named. Please can they keep their kit in school in a small bag on their pegs. We will send them home each term to be washed and returned. Please send in swimming costume/trunks, towel and a named swimming hat on swimming day.

Homework

Please could you support your child with their homework.

• Spellings will be tested and given out on MONDAYS. The children have 8 words to learn and we ask that they practise their spellings at least three times in a week, one session focussing on writing these in a sentence.

• Reading We would suggest that your child reads daily for around ten minutes each session – little and often is usually best! Please comment in and sign your child’s reading record every time they read to you.

• Maths homework   Please ensure that chidren are using DoodleMaths/Doodle Tables and TTRockstars. See our maths homework letter here and strategies sheet here.
