Grange PE Kit
*NEW* PE Procedures
Please bring PE kits to school at the beginning of each term. Children will get changed into PE kits during the school day. This is now recommended practice from the national PE Association. Our school PE kit is:
- Red t-shirt
- Black shorts
- Black pumps/ or trainers (No logos or branding)
- Children may bring black tracksuit bottoms for outdoor sports in the winter.
Uniform does not need to be expensive - for example, from ASDA you can get 2 t-shirts, 2 pairs of shorts and pumps for under £10.
Children should not be wearing branded clothing. The only item of clothing with a logo is our school sweatshirt, which is available from Mary Frances in Longridge - please see the Office for more details.
Please also ensure that children with pierced ears can either remove earrings themselves or cover with plasters before the start of the school day.
Home Reading
Don't forget to read regularly at home and write your comments in your child's new Home Reading Diary. Books will be changed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Spellings
Spellings will be handed out every Friday. The spelling test will take place the following Friday so the children have a full week to learn them.
Maths
In Maths, we will develop our understanding of place value and number. The children are currently learning their 2x, 5x and 10x tables so any extra practice at home would be helpful.
