'Things to remember...'

• Every day pupils should come to school wearing full school uniform - during winter months please make sure children have warm clothes and waterproofs, including a hat and gloves.

• Book bags travel between home and school each week. Books will be changed each week, reading logs should be signed to let teachers know children have read at home too. Each child will be given a note to say what day they read in school this will be the day that they need to bring their book bag into school. 

• On Monday's children go to forest school and have P.E. They need wellington boots, warm clothes and, from January 2026, a P.E kit to change into. 

• Please label all clothing with your child's name. 

Phonics

During the past week we have been learning about the Colour Monster and how he expresses his emotions. The children have been busy making homes for their own monsters using a range of materials. 

Here are the emotion's that the colour monster feels and the colours that he turns when feeling like that emotion. 

Yellow = happy 

Blue = sad 

Red = angry 

Grey = fearful 

Green = calm
