Welcome to Bond Class!

We are named after Michael Bond, the author of the Paddington books!

Reading books

Each child will have a reading book and Home School reading record  to take home with them every day. We ask that the children please bring these with them to school daily. In order to support your child, we would like someone to hear them read at home as much as possible, ideally every day, but at least 4 times each week. If you hear your child read, please record it in their reading record. Children are welcome to take home a library book and  a decodable phonics book.

PE

The children have 2 PE lessons each week. We have PE on a Tuesday and a Thursday.

In order for your child to be able to participate fully in these lessons we ask that PE kit is worn to school on these days. This consists of a t-shirt, shorts or sports trousers and daps or trainers. Long hair should be tied back. We ask that earrings are removed for PE lessons. If your child is unable to remove their earrings due to being recently pierced (in the last 6 weeks), please provide them with plasters or micropore tape to protect the ears during lessons. If there is a difficulty with earrings, please speak to the class teachers to arrange a short-term solution.

Morning Snack

Your child will be provided with a healthy snack of fruit or vegetables to eat at break time.  The children should also bring a named water bottle to have in class (water only please!).
