Home Reading
Your children are given the opportunity to choose a home reading book for pleasure from the library and we set decodable eBooks online through BugClub. These details were shared with you during our Phonics and Early Reading evening. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

'Booket' List
We have selected a list of books that your children will enjoy this year that we will read and reread for enjoyment.
Reminders
Water: Please ensure that your child has a bottle of water every day, labelled with their name, to keep them hydrated throughout the day. Part of the EYFS curriculum is to promote oral health so please fill the bottle with water only.
Snack: Children have fruit provided every morning. They also have 'snack time' in the afternoon for which you may send in one piece of fruit or a cereal bar which will be kept in a box in class. Please do not send in anything which should be refrigerated.
P.E kits: Please ensure your child has a named P.E. kit in school. Their kit can remain in school for the half term unless parents specifically ask for it to be sent home.
Forest School: Children do not need any extra clothing for Forest School as we will provide it.
Milk: Children who are four will be offered free milk from Cool Milk every afternoon. Once children turn five, parents must log on to the Cool Milk website to arrange for paid milk for their child if required.
Please ensure all book bags, coats, jumpers, P.E. kits, snack or lunch bags and water bottles are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
