A few reminders...

• PE is on Friday. Children can come to school in their PE kit on this day. Please ensure all items of clothing are labelled with your child's name. 
• Forest School is on Tuesday. The children can come to school in their Forest School kit. Long legs and long sleeves are essential. During the winter months, please send your child with warm and waterproof clothing. In the summer months, children will need hats and sun cream where appropriate. 
• Sycamore class will be going swimming every Wednesday morning starting from 26th November 2025 until 11th February 2026.  The children are VERY excited!

Reading is rewarding at Healdswood!

At Healdswood we recognise the importance of reading as a life-long skill and encourage the children to read for enjoyment as much as possible. 

◦The children will change their reading set/colour band book once per week, every Friday.

◦They will also visit the school library once per week and choose a book to share with grown ups at home. 

◦We encourage children to read at home as often as they possibly can, but ask for a minimum of 3 times per week.

◦Please record in the reading diaries when your child has read and they will earn a raffle ticket each Friday for our special half- termly prize draw.

◦Children will also still have access to Oxford Owl where there are a variety of books for them to enjoy.

◦Please ensure your child brings their book bag every day to school as all children read every morning in class as part of the daily routine.
