In order to take part in P.E lessons children must have the correct kit. This is a ‘Harlyn’ PE t-shirt & blue shorts or a dark coloured tracksuit for when the weather is colder. Plimsolls/Trainers are also required. Please make sure all kit is named including shoes.

Reading

The children should be reading daily and it should be recorded in their reading journals. Daily reading to an adult is so important and has a huge impact on the progress they make with their reading. Reading books will be changed approx. 3 times per week.

Library

We will visit the library once per week. Children will only be able to take out a new book if they return their current one.
