Water Bottles and Snacks:

Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle every day, containing water only and labelled with their name.

A healthy snack (fruit) will be offered to your child each day. However if your child wishes to bring in an alternative snack it must be one of the following items:

Toast
Fruit
Plain biscuit

Plantation is a nut-free school so please ensure that snacks and items in lunch boxes do not contain nuts.

Plantation Planners

Please ensure your child brings their planner to and from school every day.

They will need it to record reading and to access usernames and passwords for educational websites.

An adult in our team will check planners every week. We will be looking to see if your child has recorded at least four reading entries throughout the week and for a parent/carer signature.

If you write a message in your child's planner, please remind them to show it to one of the class team of adults.

Homework

Your child will be provided with a reading book every Monday. Full details about your child’s reading has been sent out to you in a letter.

Your child may also be provided with a library book in the next few weeks to promote reading for enjoyment. Your child will be offered to change their library book on Thursday only, but your child is welcome to keep their library book for a few weeks if they prefer to. Library books are not necessarily matched to your child’s reading level, since the idea is to allow your child to choose their own book; promoting reading for pleasure.

Timetable

Please see the attached copy of our general class timetable at the end of this page.

PE

Tuesday (indoor)

Friday (outdoor)

On days where your child has a PE lesson, they should attend school in their kit for the full day. The correct PE kit MUST be worn. If the person leading the PE lesson deems that your child’s kit is not appropriate, they will be asked to sit out and may miss some or all of the session.

A PE kit is:

Plain white t-shirt or polo shirt
Plain black shorts
Black tracksuit top and bottoms, black leggings may also be worn
Trainers or pumps

Other sports kits, such as football strips, are not appropriate and must not be worn. Watches and jewellery must be removed for PE. Long hair must be tied back.

Parents/carers will be notified via the School Planner should they not be in kit regularly (twice in succession).
