Happy New Year Firecrests!

Welcome back! We’re so happy to welcome the children back to school for the new year and hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable break. As we begin this new term together, we’re looking forward to the rest of the school year being filled with learning, laughter, and growth. Throughout the year, the children will be growing in strength, growing in wisdom, and growing in faith as they explore new ideas, build friendships, and develop confidence in themselves. The coming months will bring many exciting activities and experiences, and we can’t wait to share this journey together and make it a positive, engaging, and meaningful year for all.

Class Information:

PE

PE will take place on a Monday and Wednesday.

Home Learning Expectations

Reading: Children are expected to read daily for a minimum of 15 minutes. Please ensure this is logged in their Reading Record Books each time and the reading book and record book are in school every day.

Times Tables: Children are expected to be on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) for 30 minutes per week as a minimum. Times Tables are a fundamental part of maths and we would like to emphasise how important it is that this is supported at home. 

Spellings: Children are expected to practise spellings on a daily basis. The spellings to practise each week are on this page.

Equipment in school: 

If you are able to supply a pencil case with basic equipment such as pencils, glue stick, colouring pencils etc, then that would be greatly appreciated. We only require one small pencil case that will fit in the school drawer.  Please bring in a book from home to read in class.  Please ensure water bottles are in school every day.
