Useful Information about KS1

Water Bottles

All children need to bring in a water bottle to use in class.

Please make sure these are labelled and the children are able to open them so they can be refilled.

We recommend water bottles come in on a Monday and go home on a Friday.

Reading Books

Children will need to have their reading books in school everyday.

We run a reward scheme that celebrates regular reading and we have some great stickers to add how they feel about their books. Please remember to keep your reading total up to date.

PE and Games kits

All children in KS1 have two activity sessions a week.

PE is in the hall and your child will need a white t-shirt and black shorts.

Games is our outdoor session and we go out all through the year. They will need jogging bottoms, jumper, t-shirt and trainers.

We are happy for PE and Games kits to stay in school for the whole term.

Homework

At the beginning of the term we will set a number of different tasks for your child to select from. These tasks are based around the topic and we only expect one to be completed per week. Homework books will need to be handed in on a Monday and they will be returned on a Wednesday.

Children will also bring home spellings to learn for a test on Mondays.

We also provide Maths activity via MyMaths. Passwords and login details will be found in their homework book.

Rewards

Within school, we celebrate success and hard work with housepoints for their teams.

Each week classes award "Star of the Week" certificates to children who have shown excellent work or had a brilliant attitude.

We also use raffle tickets to reward kindness, good manners and teamwork. These raffle tickets are collected from all over the school on a Friday and then four tickets are drawn out of the jar.

These lucky children then get to go to the Headteacher's Tea Party (with cake).

Please remember to label all clothes as it makes it much easier to get missing items back to you.
