Things to Remember
PE Kit
Please wear your PE kit to school on Monday and Wednesday.
Homework
Spellings will be handed out on a Monday and should be handed in the following Friday.
Please remember to read 3 times per week and record this in your planners.
School Dinners
If you are are wanting a school dinner, you can order them from the school grid app.
Reading at Fairburn View Primary School
Phonics: Your child will learn to read following the ‘Sounds Write’ Programme. This programme is designed to support the rigorous and systematic approach to teaching synthetic phonics. Our caring teaching staff plan exciting lessons to meet the needs of all individual children.
Reading:
There is a focus on reading across school and there is huge benefits to children reading at home. As part of school policy, we ask for children to read at least 3x at home and this is signed by a parent. You can help your children by hearing them read, but also checking their comprehension. Ask the questions about what they have just read, what they think will happen next and explain what they think of the books they are reading. It is important for children to read a range of texts as this makes them well rounded excellent readers.
Inside school, children have a daily guided reading session in which they have opportunity to have adult based and independent reading activities.
We appreciate your help and support in the matter.
Parent Partnerships
We welcome any opportunities for parents to share their skills and knowledge.
Please listen to your child read at home every day and record this in your child’s planner.
Thank you for your support.
