Organisational Information

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 two times 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.

The next priority is to ensure spellings are learnt each week. Spellings will be sent home every Thursday, via Class Dojo, and added to ‘Spelling Shed’. Weekly tasks will also be uploaded to ‘MyMaths’ every Thursday.

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.
