Homework
1
The children in Reception have a reading diary designed to record the books that they have chosen to take home to share and read with a member of their family. It is important that parents and carers are encouraged to share books with their child every day.
1
It is expected that parents will add written comments into their child’s reading diary, which adds to a dialogue between home and school. It is also expected that phonics and high frequency words are also sent home, for the child to practise and learn.
Behaviour
1
We expect our children to behave in a polite and thoughtful manner to all members of the school community.
