Class Routines

Our PE day is on a Thursday afternoon. The PE kit is white t-shirt, navy blue shorts and pumps. The girls can wear plain black leggings under their shorts if they wish.

On a Monday afternoon, we go swimming at Keighley Leisure Centre. The children will need their swimming costume and a towel. We will be going swimming until the end of the year in July. 

Maths homework is given every day during the week (Monday to Thursday). The children have 6 Arithmetic questions to answer each evening. These questions are covered in class first thing in the morning. This is so the children have time to ask one of the adults in class for help during the day if they need it. We do an Arithmetic test every Friday morning to help prepare the children for SATs in May.

Each week the children have to revise one of their times tables for a short test at the end of the week. The children need to be confident with these to help them in other areas of Maths. 

The children have to read to an adult for 15 minutes three times a week and have their reading record signed. They can read anything they like such as: books, annuals, comics, newspapers, instruction manuals- not just their reading book. We ask that parents/carers question their child about what they have read to make sure they have understood it. Reading records are collected in on a Tuesday morning.

 

Booster Sessions

From September until May, every Monday, we hold a Maths booster session after school from 3:30pm-4:30pm which focuses on Arithmetic.

From January to May, before school on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning, we hold a Grammar and Punctuation booster session which starts at 8am.

If your child is invited to attend these sessions please try to get them to come as they will really help with their preparation for the SATs tests in May.
