PE Kit
Some of our PE lessons will be outside. Therefore, appropriate PE kit is required including plain, dark jogging bottoms, a plain sweatshirt and trainers as well as a plain white t-shirt and plain, dark shorts. For outdoor PE, trainers are preferrable to plimsoles as these provide much better grip.
Earrings must be removed or covered up for all PE lessons. Children with pierced ears must be able to remove their own earrings before the lesson or cover them up with tape brought from home. Alternatively, earrings could be removed before school on your child's PE days. 

Our book this half-term is ... 

Our main text for our English work will be Wonder by R.J. Palacio.
