From the Stakesby Primary Academy
We extend a warm welcome to all of the families in the Acorn Class. Our more experienced Super Squirrels have evolved into Wise Owls and are now prepared to work assiduously on their reading, phonics, writing, and math skills. If they have been read at home, reading books will be changed on Mondays and Thursdays. It truly does make a difference if you read to your child and have them practise their phonics and Tricky Words every day. On Wednesdays, students will receive their homework and return it the following Wednesday. We'll pay attention to reader feedback and frequently check Tricky Words. Please make sure your child always comes to school with a blue book bag so we can hear them read and check their Tricky Words as needed. Please make sure your child always carries a coat. Regardless of the weather, we do spend time outside. Thursday mornings are reserved for Forest Schools. Please send your child to school in proper attire for forest schools and include their uniform. If they get dirty or wet, we will merely change them into their uniform. Please visit us if you are concerned or experiencing any issues. Over the upcoming academic year, we are looking forward to working with you and your kid.
