Useful Information

Our P.E. days are on Tuesday and Friday. Children will need their indoor and outdoor kits in school for the duration of the term. Please ensure all items of their P.E. Kits are labelled. Please click here to view the PE Overview.

Library Morning is every Wednesday. The children will have the opportunity to choose a library book to borrow from school. They are asked to return the book the following Wednesday to exchange it for a new one. Each Wednesday we welcome parents/carers to our Library morning to share books with their child. We look forward to seeing you at Library morning!

Show and Tell is on a Friday. Please see below for full details.

Homework - Reading

Reception children are asked to read their reading books and practise their Oxford Reading Tree key words on flashcards for 10 minutes, 5 days a week.

Please encourage your child to complete their reading challenge homework and achieve their 'Gold Reading Challenge' award each half term. For additional information please see the Reading Challenge email sent at the beginning of Autumn Term 2.

At St Andrews, as well as reading books from school, children can access additional reading books from the online eBook library 'Oxford Reading Buddy'. As a school we pay a subscription to be able to access eBooks for our children. This has proven very popular with parents and children as another way to read, enjoy and foster your child's love of reading! Please refer to your individual reading logins which will be handed out with your child's reading pack during term 1.

Homework - Phonics

Phonics sheets will be send home as the children learn a new phonics sound. These will give the children an opportunity to practise recognising the sound and formation of the letter.
