P.E Lessons

Children are required to come to school in their full P.E kits on Wednesday and Thursday for our P.E lessons. This will be games on the Wednesday and gym/dance on the Thursday. Our P.E kit consists of a white t-shirt, navy blue shorts, joggers or leggings and black trainers and pumps (pumps need to be left in school in a named pump bag).

Homework

Homework at Norwood.

At Norwood, we are passionate about supporting you as much as possible with your child's education. We are also very aware that homework can be a struggle for many of you at home. This year we have tried to simplify our approaches and also save money and waste. Instead of sending home lots of booklets and worksheets, each child will have an exercise book that they can use to support their homework. Any passcodes from Numbots will be stuck on the front cover of the book, so children can easily access any websites used by school.

Every THURSDAY a homework powerpoint will be shared on Class Dojo. This will give a summary of homework to be completed and some optional extras.

On TUESDAY every week, homework books need to be returned to school, in order for staff to check learning.

Reading is still a very important part of our homework expectations. We are continuing to promote reading, so please read at home and make comments at least 3 times a week.
