Support Staff -Mrs Cooper and Mrs Ennis

Although we are heading into the summer months, please can you make sure that your child has a coat in a school if the weather looks unpredictable.  Could you also make sure that your child has their name on everything so that they are easy to find.

When the children have PE, they should continue to wear their Bitham Brook PE kit into school with the
school jumper over the top (if weather conditions require a jumper). Please note the Bitham Brook PE kit is
a plain white t-shirt and black shorts/leggings/tracksuit with trainers. Other sports clothing is not acceptable
as it is important that, as a school, we have pride in our appearance. It is important that children do not
attend school in casual clothing as we want to maintain the children’s sense of education being important;
pride in their appearance; and belonging to Bitham Brook.

Homework

Children will receive weekly spellings on a Wednesday that will link to the previous week’s learning in phonics. Please practice these at home.

Please continue to read at home daily. Children will receive a star for every day recorded in their yellow books

PE

Children will have PE on Thursday and Friday. Please ensure children come to school in their Bitham Brook PE kit on these days. 

Thursday- Dance

Morning Snacks

All children in Year 1 receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable everyday, however, children are able to bring their own snack if they prefer.  Please be reminded that this should only be fruit, vegetables, plain crackers or dairy products such as yogurts or cheese.  Children will be asked to save sweets/biscuits/crisps/chocolate for their lunchtime or to take home. Please note that we are a NUT FREE school.
