Snack

Snack is sold at morning break. Please ensure that children bring in the correct change!

Children can bring in their own healthy snack if they prefer.

All children should bring in a (named) waterbottle to access during the day.

Seesaw Family App

As your child uses Seesaw in school, you can download the Seesaw App. Sign in as a family member and this will allow you to view, like and comment on your child's work as well as see any messages from the class teacher.   Year 1 Invites will be sent out in the first few weeks of term.  

Children use iPads in Key Stage 1 in preparation for our one-to-one iPad Scheme, which is run throughout Key Stage 2. Families can sign up to the scheme at the end of Year 2 in preparation for getting their own iPad in September of Year 3.  Find out more information here.

Reading and Phonics

Decodable reading books are sent home each week from the Collins Big Cat reading scheme.  Rocket Phonics is used for our phonics sessions and rocket phonics books are used for guided reading sessions in school.
