Welcome to Class Mrs Dimisianou's class page.

Welcome back and what a delight it is to be back in school! Your children have settled in very well and have already started to do some fantastic work. Please follow my class page on Twitter, where I will update regularly to share work and other important information.

Below is some important information for both children and parents.

Water bottles & snacks:

Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle labelled with their name. Also, if your child wishes to have a snack during break times, it must be one of the following items: 

• Toast
• Fruit
• Plain biscuit

PE:

• Wednesday - Outdoor PE
• Thursday- Indoor PE 

We will continue to run PE and Games lessons, and these will be outside when we are able to do so.

On the days that your child has a PE or Games lesson we ask that they come to school in their PE/Games kit. They will wear this kit for the whole day instead of their uniform.

Please ensure your child comes to school in the correct PE kit with a plain tracksuit and trainers/pumps to wear for the whole day.  Children should not be attending school in replica sports kits, such as football kits.

Homework:

Every week, your children will be expected to:

• Practise their spellings in their green spelling books using the latest 'log and learn' words (at least 15 minutes)
• Practise their times tables by using Times Table Rockstars or any other method (at least 15 minutes)
• Read their levelled reading book with an adult (at least 3 times a week)

Planners:

Please can you ensure that the children's planners are brought into school every day and signed by an adult every Thursday night. Each time your child reads, please record what they have read and the number of pages under the appropriate date.

Log in details for the websites will be on the inside cover of your child's journal.

Spellings:

The children will be given a new set of spellings to take home in their green spelling books to practice each week.

These books must be in school every Wednesday. 

Reading: 

The children will be given a new levelled reading book every week to bring home and read with support. These books have been chosen based on your child's current Guided Reading group, that they complete twice a week in school. Throughout the year, their books will increase in difficulty depending on the level of understanding and fluency that they demonstrate. 

Children can also choose a 'Reading for Pleasure' book every Friday from school that they wish to bring home with them. This book is not based on their current level, but simply a book that they find interesting and want to share with an adult at home.
