* What is the impact of reading? *

A few notes for the Summer-1 Term:

PE: Children will now have PE every Monday (Tag Rugby 1:10 - 2:10pm) and Thursday with Mr Coleclough (Athletics  - 10:45am - 12:00pm). Children should come dressed in their PE kit on these days. 

Water: Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time.  Please ensure your child’s name is on their bottle, it will be sent home each afternoon.  

Snack: You may wish to send in a snack, please make sure it is healthy, no chocolate, crisps or sweets (We are a nut free school).

In addition, please find a range of documents below which will be helpful in supporting your childs learning this year such as key spellings and expectations.

The Growth Mindset:

In my own teaching, I am a great believer in the power of positivity and the growth mindset. The growth mindset plays a huge part in our learning. This mindset allows us to change our language which helps us to change an outcome. Hopefully it won't be long before your children begin to use the langauge 'I can't do it YET' and 'mistakes make my brain grow!' Here's a little video to explain it a little more (your children will become very familiar with Mojo!).
