Griffin Park Primary School
Useful Information
A few useful things to know about Year 1!
School Fund
We ask for donations from parents on a weekly basis of 50p which goes into our school fund. This helps to pay for many of the more exciting opportunities we give to our children. We would be very grateful if you could help us by supporting this tradition.
Reading Books
Reading books will be changed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please try to hear your child read as much as possible; just 5 minutes a day can make such a difference. Please make sure you sign your child's diary so we know it can be changed and if you wish to leave a comment that would be great too.
Reading Bags
Please ensure your child brings their bag and reading book every day.
Library Books
These are collected in, and new ones sent home on a Monday; when your child returns their previous one, they will be able to choose another.
PE
PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday, so PE kits (black shorts/pants/ a plain white T-shirt/ school jumper/cardigan/hoodie/ trainers/pumps) MUST be kept on your child's coat hook. NO stud earrings are allowed to be worn now.
Spellings/Maths Facts
These will be sent home on Fridays in your child's green/white spellings/ maths facts books. They will need to learn these at home, and then your child will be tested the following Friday. Please ensure your child's green/white spelling book comes back to school every Friday so their new spellings/ maths facts can be stuck in.
