 PE

Puffin Class will usually have their PE lesson on a Tuesday and Friday Please ensure your child has their named PE kit in school all week. 

Reading and Spellings

 We expect all children to read their Little Wandle Guided Reading book every day. Please sign your child's reading record to show when they have read to you. They will have their reading books changed on a Monday. 

On Wednesdays children will be given a list of 8 spellings to practise at home. These will be words that we have focused on during phonics that week. The following Wednesday they will have a small test on these spelling words.

On Wednesdays children will also be given the opportunity to take out a book of their choice from the school library. Please ensure that they bring these back into school each Wednesday so they can get a new one. 

Art

 This half term on a Thursday morning our school artist Hannah will be visiting Puffin Class and working with groups of children on exciting art projects. 

Outdoor Learning 

 There is no outdoor learning this term for Puffins. We will do outdoor learning in Spring Two. You will receive a letter with details about this nearer the time. 

Below you will find key documents to help understand your child's learning, including our recommended reading lists.
