reading is to practice different
strategies, broaden the style of
books/genre and foster
enjoyment and confidence and
is usually at an independent
level.
The children will only change
levels when each child is ready
based on fluency and
comprehension and not just
ability to retell or word reading
ability.

No money – except for Snack Sale days – usually once a month,
organised by SCO and notification and reminders will be in the Tin Tuc.

preferences about food their child consumes.

instructions with the medications.
A sick child should not be sent to school. If student is at school he/she
should participate fully in every lesson.
If there are long term conditions – such broken bones or severe
allergies when the child isn’t able to participate in P.E. In this case, a
doctor’s note should be provided indicating how long P.E. lessons
need to be missed. They will still attend the class but not participate.
