Polite Reminders
We are going to be having P.E every Monday.
At the moment, we will only be removing jumpers/cardigans, and socks and shoes. Your child needs a P.E kit so that it is in school ready for when we start getting changed. On P.E day, please remove your child's earrings and tie their hair back.
When children begin to bring home reading books, these will be changed every Tuesday. Please write in your child’s reading record each time they read at home. If you read with your child five times, please write in their record each time. This will earn them ticks on their reading card, which will eventually lead to certificates and prizes. All information on this is will be in the front of your child’s reading record book. Please ensure you child has their book bag EVERYDAY and please ensure no water bottles or snacks are put into the bags as we don’t want our precious books getting wet and ruined.
Once again, we thank you for your continued support.

This week our focus text is all about healthy eating! It is called, “Eat your Greens Goldilocks,” which is a lovely reimagining of the traditional tale, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”.

In Maths this week we have been exploring the concept of height and have been using small items to make and measure different things. We have investigated which is taller / shorter / tallest / shortest!

Food at Phoenix
The menus for school dinners are on the school website – please share these meals with your children as there have been some changes to the Spring term menu. The children are still working hard on developing their fine motor skills and controlling their knives and forks. We would love for this to be encouraged and continued at home please. 😊
