Key Information for Parents
PE |
PE in FS1 will take place on a Thursday. Please come to school wearing PE Kit and trainers with a Velcro fasten, until your child can fasten their own laces. If your child does not come to school in their PE kit, the parents will be contacted to bring their PE kit into school. |
Homework |
Each Thursday we will upload a memo to Tapestry with tasks to complete over the weekend, to prepare your child for their learning in school the following week. |
Phonics |
The focus for each week’s phonics lessons can be found on the memo that is uploaded to Tapestry every Thursday. |
Reading |
Please read at home at least 3 times a week and fill in your child’s diary each time you read. This includes their library book, their Lilac band pre-reader book and any books that you have at home. |

Phonics Links
In Nursery, we focus on our listening skills, in preparation for learning our sounds following the No Nonsense Phonics Scheme in school.
