Acorn Class Information
The Acorn Class timetable changes frequently to reflect children’s interests and needs. Important activities to remember throughout the week:

Forest School – (Term 2 onwards) Friday AM –  Every Friday morning, Mrs Godbold will lead Forest School. Please make sure your child is dressed in the correct Forest School clothes (school polo top, burgundy jogging bottoms, school jumper/cardigan) and comes to school with a suitable coat and outdoor clothes for the weather and time of year. 

PE

Please make sure your child comes to school dressed in the correct PE uniform (polo top, shorts/jogging bottoms, trainers). Please can trainers have velcro and not laces as we encourage the children to be as independent as possible at school. Thank you.

 

Home Learning and Reading

Homework is set on a Friday is to be returned by the following Wednesday. Home learning challenges are set within our weekly newsletter. 

Reading – Reading at home is very important to your child’s reading development. Please try to listen to your child read everyday for around 5/10 minutes. Please write a short comment every time you hear your child read in the blue reading record book.

In addition to the phonics book sent home weekly, your child will also take home a sharing book. We encourage you to read this to your child and use the comprehension prompt card to ask questions before/during/after reading to support important comprehension skills.

Your child will read to an adult once a week at least on their set reading day but may also read on other days. Please make sure reading books are in your child’s book bag every day. 

Reading books are changed every Friday.

 

Show and Tell

 Friday is show and tell day in Acorn Class. To make sure every child has a chance to talk about their special items, we run show and tell by rota. Please find a copy of this term’s rota in the document list below.
