Please ensure zippy wallets come into school with the children every day.

Tuesday – PE day (All children come into school in their PE kits)

Thursday – Homework (due back on Monday)

A normal day in our class

We follow God Matters in Religious Education (the Portsmouth Diocese scheme of learning). The children learn two and a half hours in KS2 each week. Liturgical Prayer occurs daily. 

Things that help us learn

We will be continuing to use Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 2. Reading books are sent home on a weekly basis which are pitched at your child’s current reading ability and at a level they can decode and comprehend at a 95% accuracy. Weekly spellings are sent home to consolidate understanding of spellings and spelling rules the children have been taught. Spellings for many children will be taken from Government issued statutory word lists.
