Reading in Blencathra Class 1 2020-21
With the current climate, how we organise home readers will change for the time being. The children will keep their book bags with them at their seats. We will change their books regularly and the books which come back into school will go into a basket for a period of time. Once they have been quarantined the books will then be returned to the shelves for use.
Over the lockdown period, we have been reorganising our books into an order which is linked to the child's phonic ability. The books are still within a coloured group but they are now split into phonic phases.
PE in Blencathra Class - Summer Term 2 2021
PE sessions will take place outside either on the playground or on the school field. Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit. Our timetabled days for the Summer Term 2 are Wednesday and Thursday. It would be good if your child has their PE kit with them every day as we will utilise good weather to prepare for sports activities.
