SCHOOL VALUES AND LEARNING IN

P1/2R and P2F

Children must wear school uniform, including

black shoes. Uniform should be labelled with
childs name.
P.E. Days:
P1/2R Monday and Friday (Week 1)
- Monday and Wednesday (Week 2)
P2F Tuesday and Friday (Week 1)
- Tuesday and Wednesday (Week 2)
Children must have their P.E. kit on these days.
It would be helpful if children could keep their
P.E. kit in school with gym shoes until the end
of each term when it will be sent home to be
washed.
Water bottles can be brought to school daily
and taken home for cleaning.
Home school bags and home learning diaries
should be brought to school each day. Notes
from home should be communicated in the diary
and we will also communicate in the diary from
time to time.
Weekly school lunch orders should be given to
the class teacher on a Monday morning.
It is expected children come to school
prepared for learning with a pencil, rubber and
ruler.
Letters, money, permission slips should be
handed in to the class teacher please, not the
school office.
Children must always bring a jacket to school.
We enjoy celebrating achievements. Please
encourage your child to share these and
bring in certificates, medals or a note of
achievement e.g. riding their bike.

Respect, responsibility, kindness,

fairness and unity are Newton Primary
Schools values. Children are expected to
uphold these values at all times.

Efforts and high standards are expected

in Primary 1 and 2. Children are
encouraged to always try their best and
to take pride in their learning.

Children will experience a variety of

learning contexts in P1/2 and P2. In term
1, our context is Paddington Express.
Parents are important in supporting
learning. If you have a skill or knowledge
to share, please let us know. We would
also appreciate parental support for
excursions taking place throughout the
year.
Thank you for your support,

Miss Rawding and Mrs Fitzgerald

and Mr Edwards

There will be lessons in Literacy, Numeracy

and Mathematics every day. Social
subjects, Sciences, Technologies, Health
and Wellbeing, RME and Expressive Arts
will be delivered during the course of each
week/term.

Weekly home learning is to reinforce core

learning. There will be a homework grid
issued weekly on a Monday and completed
homework should be returned on a Friday.

Banded books will be issued weekly to

encourage regular reading at home. They
may be read independently or with an adult.

Reading books will be issued weekly. This

book will have been read in class and your
child should be familiar with the story.

Each term, an additional task such as a

school challenge, context grid or
presentation task will be issued.

If necessary, incomplete class work may be

sent home for children to finish at home.
