Book-bags should be brought into school every day: we encourage children to be as independent as possible and to remember their book-bag for themselves. Children can change their books in any silent reading session – it is up to them to let us know they need to.
The children can go home with two new books every week: a Library book and a book-band fluency book. Children can choose to keep their class book corner book in their trays. .We hear all children read in Guided Reading sessions, more than once a week, and certain children individually on a 1:1 basis at other times.
Children are encouraged to change their books regularly.
Our PE days are on Tuesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor).
On PE days please bring your Morley PE kit to change into at school (see here for more details). A PE kit consists of T-shirt, shorts, long-sleeved top and jogging bottoms, spare socks, trainers or plimsolls. Long hair must be tied back and no jewellery please.
Children will need to bring a filled and named water bottle to school each day. The class tap is drinking water and the children are able to fill their bottles as needed.
Homework will be set on Friday via Google Classroom. Login details will be found in your child’s reading record. Homework will be acknowledged by the class teacher on Google Classroom or in person.
