Swimming will begin on Monday 7th September and continue until February half term. Your child will need to come to school in their PE kit and bring:

·       Swimming costume, shorts or trunks

·       Towel

·       A swimming cap is required for girls/ those with longer hair

READING


In LKS2, children are becoming more independent readers. It is recommended that children read for 15-20 minutesdaily. To support comprehension and understanding they should read and discuss the text with an adult.

  • Week one - a yellow reading card and book will be sent home. Please record weekly reading. In addition to this, an online reading scheme will also be utilised. Details will follow in the coming weeks

  • Week two – a cream reading comment book and a reading book will be sent home. There will be a sticker inside the comment book with instructions on how to complete the reading comment. Year 3 children will spend some lesson time exploring how to write reading comments, examples will be provided for parents. Reading comments are expected to be completed independently at home in their reading comment book (cream book). Please can the reading record also be signed.


Reading comment books/reading cards are due back to school every Thursday.

SPELLING


Spelling lists will be given every Friday. These can be found in your child’s spelling book so they can remain at home for regular practice – short bursts are recommended. Children will need their books in school for the weekly test on Friday.
