 PE Kits: Please make sure your child has a labelled PE kit in school which includes a white t-shirt, shorts or joggers
 with pumps for indoor lessons and trainers for outdoor lessons. PE kits should be brought into school in a named bag
 at the beginning of a half term, put into the appropriate class box outside the classroom and stay there until the end
 of term ready to be washed during the holidays.

 Water Bottles: Please make sure your child has a labelled water bottle in school at all times. During the day the
 children are only allowed to drink water. Other still drinks are allowed in packed lunches.

 Learning Expectations: It is our expectation that the vast majority of the children will be working at the expected
 standard for their year group, with some working at a greater depth within their year’s curriculum. If a child finds a
 concept difficult to grasp the class teacher may work with them during morning work, assembly time - or any other
 time they can find – to make sure they understand and are ready for the next lesson, to ensure they don’t fall behind.
 If despite this, they still struggle and we feel they may need some additional support with their learning, we would
 discuss appropriate steps with you in consultation with Mrs Sneddon our Inclusion Leader.

 Keeping in touch: As parents, you have a vital role to play in your child’s learning. The school staff team are always
 happy to see parents during the week, before or after school to pass on brief messages and please make an
 appointment if a longer chat is needed. Please come and talk to us if you are worried about friendships, progress or
 anything at all. It is always best to talk to the class teachers as the first port of call.

 We know many of you work and are not always available before or after school hours so you may prefer to send an
 email and we will respond as quickly as possible.

 Please join our class on the Dojo website. This year, students will get their own portfolios to
 document and share their work with you on ClassDojo. I’ll also use ClassDojo to message you
 and post announcements. It’s the easiest way for you to see what your child is working on, and
 to get in touch with me. As part of this new feature, your child will upload photos, videos, and
 other information to ClassDojo. Portfolios can be seen by students in our class, their parents and
 me. I will approve all posts! Just scan the QR code here to join:
