PE

Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday. Children must have the correct PE kit in school with them on these days. The clothing should be black trousers/shorts, a white t-shirt, a plain jumper and pumps or trainers. Please ensure your child's PE kit is suitable for all weathers.

Reading

Reading is extremely beneficial for your child and is encouraged in any form. Children should be reading daily at home and signing their reading records. Parents are encouraged to listen to their child read or read with them, also signing their reading record. Children read daily in school and are regularly provided with opportunities to change their reading books, they should have their reading book in school with them every day. Children also have a weekly visit to the library where they have the opportunity to choose and take home a reading book from here. 'Literacy Planet' can also be accessed to support your child with their reading, spelling and Literacy skills. 

Times Tables

In Lapwings, we complete a weekly times tables test. Children are encouraged to beat their score each week and then identify where extra practice is needed. 'Times Tables Rock Stars' is a fun and exciting way for the children to practise!
