Welcome
We hope you and your families have enjoyed a lovely break. We have a great Autumn term ahead of us and our first value is 'resilience'. Please see below for curriculum information.
Please don't forget that X is updated regularly, so you'll see lots of learning and experiences taking place on there. Remember, you can contact school at info@stjohnsrc.net.
Key Information
PE - Thursday and Friday
This year, children are to come into school in full school uniform and get changed into their PE kits on their PE days. Please bring full PE kits into school on these days.
Reading Books
We encourage children to read for at least 30 minutes every day. We would appreciate your support in helping them to find some time every day to enjoy a book.
Children will be given a banded reading book and a 'reading for pleasure' book to take home. Children should bring their reading book in every day as there will be opportunities for reading throughout the day. Their reading books will be changed every Friday if needed.
Homework
Please login into Atom Prime each week: https://atomlearning.com/prime
English and maths will be added every Thursday.
The spellings for this year are below (Stage 5). Children will have spelling lessons in class and activities and quizzes throughout the week. Weekly spellings will be written in purple spelling books and these are to be brought into school each day. We would appreciate your support in reminding children to practise these words at home.
Children will not have a formal-style spelling test each week as they will be assessed in other ways (e.g. dictation, quizzes, independent application).
