Brookvale Primary School

Useful Information

We will have three adult led reading practice sessions each week, teaching children how to decode, to read with fluency and expression and to talk about their understanding of their books. They will be allocated their next reading book online via the Collins online ebook platform.  Children should bring their book bags into school every day so that they can change their "Reading for Pleasure" books.

Children are offered a morning snack of a piece of toast. This is to be booked and paid for in advance via the school online payment platform. They will also be offered a free piece of fruit each afternoon. 

Children should bring a bottle of water to school each day - they can access and refill their bottle when needed. They should not bring juice! Children having a packed lunch can bring in a separate carton or bottle of juice to have with their lunch. 

Please make sure that every item of your child's clothing is labelled, including their coat so that we can reunite everyone with their belongings at the end of the day!

PE will be every Monday - children are to come to school wearing their PE kit. This is a white top and black shorts (joggers for colder weather) and suitable footwear. Please make sure they also have on their school sweatshirt or a hoodie, as they would if they were wearing their uniform, so that they stay warm during the rest of the day!

Children will receive phonics and spelling homework every Friday. This will cover the sounds and words covered in that week's lesson. Please try to help your child practice these sounds and words at home as they will have a spelling test on them during the following week.
