Weekly Update – At the end of every week, Yerbury sends a Weekly Update to all parents who have signed up for it (see the bottom of the website to sign up). This includes a lot of information both on a school level and for individual class information. We strongly encourage all parents to sign up to it so you are kept up-to-date
P.E/Dance (Days)
We try to do exercise every day – if not P.E or Dance, then the Daily Mile. Please make sure your child comes to school in suitable footwear and clothing to run in each day as children will not be changing for PE/Daily Mile sessions. P.E day & Dance day: please refer to the class letter you receive at the beginning of term
Swimming (year 3 only)
In the Autumn Term, Y3 have 2 weeks of intensive swimming. Please look at the class letter for information about the dates for your child.
School visits – Classes usually organise 3 trips a year linked to their topics.
Class assemblies or Special Event/Day – Each class usually does 3 class or year group events a year which parents are encouraged to attend. Please keep a look out in the Weekly Update for dates.
Water bottles/Lunchboxes
All children must bring in a water bottle, clearly labelled with their name. These will be used by the children throughout the day, so please try and ensure that they are able to open these independently. These will be sent home each afternoon for cleaning and refilling for the following day. Please encourage your child to take responsibility for remembering their water bottle every day.
Those children who are bringing a packed lunch should bring this in a small container, ideally a lunch box, as these will be stored within the classroom. Please also ensure your child is able to open the box and any food packages and containers, particularly flasks, independently. We are a healthy eating school, so lunches should be nutritious and balanced, with no junk food items and no fizzy or sugary drinks. Nuts and foods containing nuts are strictly prohibited.
Homework
Spellings will be handed out on Fridays but we are not expecting children to return them to us. They will be expected to learn the spelling through the sheet and practise online, using ‘Spelling Shed’, which will be assigned and monitored. These spellings will be assessed in class during the following week. Children are also expected to regularly practise on Times tables Rockstars.

How you can help
If you have any knowledge, skill, or artefacts related to what we are learning in school, then please do get in touch with your child’s teacher. We love having our Parents and Carers come in and help us all to learn!
PPA cover – All teachers are required by law to have Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time during the week. This is covered by the same person every week to ensure consistency for the children. The PPA cover for this year group will be done by: Andrea Littlewood.
Medicines – If your child requires an inhaler, EpiPen, or any other regular medication, please could you ensure the school has two of each medication from day one, as we will require one for the classroom and one for the school medical room.
