Welcome to 4SJ
We aim to enjoy coming to school every day to fulfill our potential and develop a lifelong love of learning!
Start day and End Time
Please drop your child off at school between 8:45 - 8:55am and register closes at 9. School day will end at 3.15pm. If your child isn't collected by 3.25pm, you will need to collect them from the school office.
Home Reading
Each child has a home reading book and record. We have assessed and chosen the level of this book for your child in order to ensure this meets their reading needs. We will read this book with your child in class but it is also important that they are read with daily at home. This is part of their weekly homework. Your child will benefit from reading 4-5 pages and then talking about what they have read. They could be discussing the characters, what they think will happen next or answer questions you ask them.
Homework Expectation
Weekly homework is:
- Spellings practice for 15 minutes 3 times a week. Given out on Friday and tested the following Friday

- Reading at least 3 times a week.

All children have been given a book for them to practice their mental maths and spellings this need to come back to school on Fridays so homework can be checked and new homework given out. Spellings will be tested on the following Friday.
PE
We do PE twice a week. On a Thursday morning, we have indoor PE lessons and on a Tuesday afternoon we have outdoor PE lessons. Please be aware that where possible, outdoor PE lessons will take place and so your child will need to have a jumper and a warm, waterproof coat for this outdoor session.
Your child will need:
Indoor Kit: Children will need black or navy shorts, a white T-shirt and black pumps.
Outdoor Kit: Long black or blue jogging bottoms, a white PE T-shirt and a warm black or blue jumper to keep them warm in the winter months. Children will also need suitable trainers.
All items will need to be labelled.
Water Bottles & healthy snack
We would encourage a named water bottle to be brought into school for your child to use regularly. Bottles should be taken home daily to be cleaned. We ask that your child only has water in their bottle.
At morning break time, your child has the opportunity to eat a snack. We ask that this is in line with our healthy schools policy and so is a piece of fruit, cereal bar, crackers, cheese etc. Snacks should not include chocolate, sweets, crisps or cakes.
