Autumn Term
Reading Books
Your child will be provided with a reading book to match their reading age – which means they should be able to fluently read 90% of the words without any issues.
The best way to do reading at home is for the grown up to read a few pages (to model good reading out loud) and then the child can continue or re-read what the adults have read.
Please try to talk about the books as you read and their reading log will need signing so they can swap their reading book for a new one.
The children will receive dojos every time they return their book. Books will be sent home every Friday and should be returned to school by Wednesday.
Homework
Homework will sent home every Friday.
The homework will be their reading book and spellings.
As the children settle more into Year 2, an additional Maths worksheet will be added.
Things to Remember
Snacks for Break
As a school we want to promote a healthy lifestyle. In KS1, we ask that children bring in a piece of fruit to have as a snack at break time.
Water Bottles
Please send your child with a labelled water bottle each day. This must be filled with water only. They can refill them during the day.
Jewellery
At Ss. Aidan and Oswald’s we have a no jewellery policy. This includes small earrings.
Autumn Term
Our PE day this term is on a Thursday. Your child should come to school on this day wearing a yellow school PE t-shirt, black shorts, tracksuit bottoms or shorts and trainers. The school jumper should be worn over the top.
