Organisational Information
Learning at home:
The first priority is always reading (because, once you can read well, you are then able to access all other learning). All children will read individually to an adult at least once a week. The book that they have read, along with its page numbers, will be recorded in your child’s school diary on that day’s date. Your child will be given the opportunity to change their reading book at least twice each week. We encourage children to read at home every day. Children must ensure that their reading book and school diary are in school every day.
Our next priority is Phonics. We encourage children to use apps such as Phonics Play and PocketPhonics to review their learning as often as possible.
Each week, the newsletter will include 2 questions for each class – these are entitled ‘Ladybridge Learning Conversations’, and are to support learning conversations at home. Any additional conversations/activities about learning at school are encouraged and will, through recall or retrieval, support long-term memory.
PE will take place every Thursday - your child should come into school wearing their PE kit.
