Welcome to Leopards!

Dear Parents and Carers

Well back! I hope you all had a wonderful break, enjoyed spending time with loved ones and maybe tasting a chocolate or two! Leopards' team would like to thank all our parents for the kindness they showed at the end of term, your gifts were very much enjoyed.

Curriculum:

This term our topic is Around the World. We have lots planned for your child to develop their understanding about the world we live. Our Topic web gives more information regarding the learning which will take place.

Reading:

The children are progressing so well with their reading and it is wonderful to see so many exchange their books with pride. As the children progress through the reading levels, the text is longer and it may take a couple of days to read. If we could ask you (or your child could do this) to note the next page to read in their reading record and we continue at school if time allows.

Continue to support your child to read by segmenting and blending new words. Encourage them to test an alternative sound e.g. does the word have ie as in pie or ie as in shield. Comprehension skills remain as important and as the books are longer you might wish to ask your own questions about the text as they read. Reading will remain the children's 'homework' and we completely understand they may have activities after school and it is not possible to read every evening.

PE Kits:

PE will take place on a Tuesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor). Please can we ask that your child has a full PE kit in school from Monday to Friday. The PE kit needs to include a red t-shirt, black shorts/leggins or joggers and trainers. We suggest a hoodie and joggers/leggins when the weather is colder. We will send their PE kits home every half term to be washed.

Forest School:

Will take place on Thursday afternoons. Please send old clothing for these sessions as the children may get mucky especially with all the rain we have had recently! Legs will need to be covered to minimise the possibility of being stung nettles/bitten by insects – No shorts or jeans.

Water Bottles:

Please provide a named water bottle for your child. We can refill them as required.

Morning drop off’s and picking up:

Please bring your children to the classroom gate in the morning and pass on any messages related to the day. Please come to the classroom gate to pick up at 3.15pm. If your child attends after-school club, we will take them through. Mornings are always very busy and we want to help the children settle as easily as possible - I am always available at the end of the day to chat if needed.

Class Dojo:

Keep up-to-date with the classroom by checking Class Dojo. The children love seeing their photos and all the learning that has taken place.

If you have any questions or concerns please do catch me on the gate.
