Key Information

Seesaw

  • All pupils have their own Seesaw accounts, which is a learning journey record of photographs, videos and work your child has completed. You will be notified when a new post is shared. 
  • You also have the option to contact the Reception staff if you have any queries during the day (8am-4pm) via the messaging function. 

Uniform & Equipment

  • Please bring a named red logo school book bag each day.
  • Please bring a named water bottle to school each day. This must only contain water.
  • School provide a drink of milk (up to the age of 5) and a piece of fruit/vegetables for our daily snack.
  • Please see the prospectus for information on school uniform and PE kit. Come to school wearing your PE kit on Tuesday

Homework

Reading

  • We encourage children to read at home as much as possible. We ask that parents try to read at least 3 times per week with your child and share a post about this on Seesaw.

Mathletics

  • Children have a Mathletics login and are encouraged to engage with the 'set' activities each week. 

Phonics

  • Children are assigned a Seesaw activity with flash cards based on the current phonemes and high frequency words that they’re learning.

Proud Clouds.

  • We also ask parents to send in one piece of good news about their child's achievements each week. These are called 'proud clouds', we share these with the rest of the class on a Friday and celebrate these together.
