Things to remember:
Tuck Shop
There is a tuck shop every playtime. Children should bring a maximum of 50p to purchase the
healthy snacks. Unlike in KS1, fruit is not provided, however children are encouraged to bring their
own.
Water Bottles
Children should bring a water bottle into school, daily, to keep them hydrated throughout the day.
These water bottles should contain water only – squash and flavoured water are not acceptable,
other than at lunchtime.
Reading
Children are expected to read at least 3 times a week, at home to an adult. This should be
clearly recorded in their home diary and signed. Children will continue to make their way up the
Reading Rocket – they are aiming for 100 reads for a prize.
Children will bring home their guided reading book and this must be brought back into school every
day.
Homework
Homework will follow the same format as last year, with topic related assignment options to
choose from, to be completed over term time. Weekly, children will be expected to complete the
given maths homework, put their spellings into sentences and read as above. Homework club is on
a Monday after school, and it is due in on a Wednesday. Children can also use their homework
time to practise their Passport Targets on Sumdog.
Uniform
All uniform, including PE kit, must be clearly labelled. This is to avoid permanent loss and wasted
learning time.
