Pencil Cases (Yrs1-6)
At the beginning of each academic year all children in Years 1 to 6 are asked to provide their own pencil case and stationary equipment to support their learning.
This enables pupils to develop independence, to recognise the importance of organisation and to take responsibility for their own belongings.
It would be appreciated if you could ensure pencil cases are checked and topped up on a regular basis and are replenished fully each half term.
Items required by pupils to support their daily learning are as follows:
- Writing pens (KS2 only)
- Purple pen
- Writing pencils
- Eraser
- Simple sharpener
- Whiteboard Pen
- Glue stick(s)
- Colouring pencils
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Yellow Highlighter
