Hello and welcome to Daisy Class!

Our topic for this half term is 'Proud to be me'. We are going to learn all about one another, what we like/dislike, how we are the same but in other ways we are different and how we have all changed over time.

We will also be finding out about our Sitwell Superheroes who will help us 'to be the best that we can be'! We are working hard to gain our Bronze Award badges. You can find out all about our Owls within the 'Key Information' tab on our school website and follow the 'Behaviour @ Sitwell' link.

Here are a few important notices...

School day timings

Our school day begins at 8:40am when the classroom door opens. The door will close at 8.45am. Our school day ends at 3:15pm.

PE days

Our PE day is Thursday with Miss Fretwell. On this day, please remove earrings and tie up long hair if necessary. As part of PE, we will be practising to get dressed and undressed by ourselves to develop our independent skills. Children will change into their PE clothes in school. Please can you support your child by practising this at home.

Reading Diaries

All reading diaries are collected in every Monday. If your child does not have their reading diary, we will be unable to back date any of the children's reading entries. If your child reads 3 times or more at home in a week on different days, they will get a stamp and lots of positive praise!

Your child will be given the opportunity to change their 'Dream Read' book every Friday. Once we begin guided reading groups, your child will be given a new guided reading book each week which will match their phonics knowledge and understanding and enable them to work on their reading targets. Your child's reading diary will be updated when learning targets have been achieved and they are moved onto the next book band. Please could we ask that all school books are kept safely in your book bag and returned to school each week as they will be used during guided reading sessions.

Poetry Journals

Keep an eye out as your child will receive a new poem every Thursday which will be linked to an area of learning from that week. We hope you enjoy sharing this with your child and reading or singing it together to help find out more about what we are learning in school.

Please can all uniform, coats and accessories be clearly labelled to ensure we can help the children be like 'Respecto' and look after all of their belongings.

If you have any questions, please contact myself through our class email address: daisyclass@sitwellinfantschool.co.uk

Thank you again for your continued support.

Mrs Duffy and Miss Hopkins 😀
