Bottle of water

Waterproof coat 

 These should be brought into school every day. 

 

We recommend that all children bring a water bottle into school daily. This must contain fresh water only. For hygiene reasons, they must be taken home, washed and refilled daily. They must be clearly labelled. Children can refill them during the school day too. Anything other than water will not be allowed to be consumed by your child during the school day unless you can provide written medical evidence from your GP explaining why this cannot be so. On receiving this, you will then need to fill in a Medical Health Care plan. See section 4. • If your child has a packed lunch, a second drink should be included. However, no fizzy drinks are allowed to be brought into school. Children having school lunches will be provided with water.

Home School Books 

These are a yellow book that the children bring home every night. Please ensure children return these to school daily. Please add any notes or changes to the collection of a child in these books to keep the teacher apprised of any changes. 

You will find a copy of weekly homework and log-on details for TT Rockstars inside this book as well as key information about the school policies. 

PE Kit

Pupils are asked to come to school in PE kit with no logos. Please remember to remove any jewellery.  

PE Days: Year 2 will have PE on a Wednesday. 

 

Habits of Mind

Across the academy, we encourage children to develop six Habits of Mind that help them become confident, resilient and independent learners:

Striving for Accuracy – taking care and checking our work.

Persisting – keeping going when things are challenging.

Questioning and Problem Posing – being curious and asking thoughtful questions.

Thinking and Communicating Clearly and Precisely – explaining our ideas clearly.

Thinking Interdependently – listening, sharing ideas and working well with others.

Thinking Flexibly – being open to new ideas and different ways of thinking.

These habits help our children approach learning with curiosity, confidence and resilience.
