Things to remember:

  • PE Kits should be kept in school so they are always available when needed. They will be sent home during the school holidays for washing. Please make sure all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
  • Children should bring a named water bottle to school each day. Bottles can be refilled with water in school throughout the day.
  • A healthy snack and milk is provided for all children.
  • Please remember to bring your library book into school every Wednesday.

Reading at Home
Listening to your child read and practising their letter sounds together at home will make a real difference to their learning and confidence. Just a little practice each day can go a very long way.
