Welcome back to Mistletoe class!

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back! I hope you have all had a great summer break. For once we can’t really complain about the weather too much.

This year, Mrs Brown will be covering my class on a Tuesday, as it is my SENDCo day and my PPA is still on a  Thursday afternoon which will be covered by Mrs Grant.

Curriculum

We are very excited to be starting our new CUSP curriculum. The children are already very excited about the topics we will be studying.

An outline of what we will be covering in each subject area is displayed in the table below:

PE will take place on Tuesday and alternate Thursdays so children will need to come to school in their kits. Thursday sessions will alternate with Forest school sessions and the dates are set out below to help keep track.

Reading Homework

The children have been given reading records this year and should read daily at home. The children can read to an adult, a sibling or a pet! Please make sure that it is written in the record book and that it is signed by an adult once a week so we know you have seen it. These will be checked so your support in this is much appreciated.

The children have selected a book from our reading corner to read at home and school. If they are not on the phonics scheme this is the book they should read and record. If they are, the book they select is one to share with an adult or to just browse through and start their love of reading. They are only expected to read their Read, Write Inc books themselves.

What your child needs in school

The children must always have a named water bottle with them in school which will be placed in a box in the classroom each morning. No other items need to be brought into school; this includes fidget toys, pencil cases, toys, and stationery. If your child would benefit from a fidget tool, the school will supply it.

Uniform

Please consult the school website or recent letter to see what is expected to be worn to school in terms of uniform and PE kit. Smart trainers may be worn if they are completely black. Please make sure that your child always has a coat in school as we don’t stay in just because it’s raining (fingers crossed for snow!)

Bags and Wellies

The children may bring in one bag, which must be a suitable size for hanging on their pegs, and a separate, named bag for their wellies (both of which must be named) to be stored on the welly rack.

If you have any questions at all about these or any other matters, please email me on vmcclure@pulham.norfolk.sch.uk. If you would prefer to speak in person, then please arrange a meeting with me via the school office. If you have a problem that your child couldn’t resolve themselves, please do encourage them to come and speak to me directly; it is so much easier to solve any problems when they happen! 

Kind regards

Mrs McClure
