Welcome to our class page.

A love of reading!

Learning to read is perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can ever give a child. Many adults remember those special books that we loved to read as children; those books that made us laugh, smile and the adventure they took us on.

At St Rose’s, we want to give every child this same passion for reading. We have worked with the School Book List to resource every classroom book corner at school with a fresh range of appropriate and exciting texts. 

Please follow the link below to see the books that are in your child’s book corner. You may wish to purchase one or two of these fabulous texts to enjoy with your child at home.

Reading Books

Please read at home with your child and sign the reading record when you have read. Regrettably, we are unable to change school reading books until the previous books have been returned and the reading record is signed.

Reading books will be allocated on a Monday to read throughout the week. These need to be handed back in on a Friday, ready for new books to be given the following Monday. Bugclub is to be used for reading over the weekends. 

Homework 

Homework will be sent out via Google Classroom every Thursday and is due in the following Thursday.

P.E., Forest School and Library Days

Our P.E. days are Monday and Thursday. P.E. kits should be kept in school at all times. We will send them home over the school holidays. All long hair needs to be tied back. 

Our Forest School day is Friday. Children will have a session once a fortnight. Please make sure that they have the appropriate named kit in school. Our Library day is Wednesday afternoon.

Morning Routine

When children arrive in the morning they are expected to say goodbye to their parents on the playground. The children then come into class and change out of their coats and outdoor shoes and put away their book bags, water bottles and lunch boxes. Once their belongings are away the children go to their places where they complete early morning work. At 8:45 the classroom door is closed and registration is taken, finishing with morning prayer. Any child arriving after 8:45 must enter school through the Main Reception Area where a late slip must be completed.
