Dragonfly Class - Miss Cunningham
Caterpillars- Miss Wood and Miss Halsey
Welcome to the Early Years
Welcome to Early Years – The Early Years children are very fortunate as they will be supported by a number of fantastic adults.
In Dragonfly Class the children will be supported by Miss Cunningham, Mrs Gardiner, Mrs Barker, Mrs Hughes and Miss Lee.
In Caterpillar class the children will be supported by Miss Wood, Mrs Wennman, Miss Halsey and Miss Wisdom.
Please do not hesitate to come and see us if you have any concerns at all about your child’s progress or happiness at school, appointments can always be made at a mutually convenient time either at the beginning or end of the school day.
Reading and Home Learning
During Terms 2,4 and 6 we will send home a home learning challenge grid. Please use a scrap book to present your child’s Home Learning using photographs and examples of their pictures and writing. The children love to share their scrap books with both their friends and adults at the end of each term.
Children love to listen to stories as well as practising their own reading skills so we ask that you read with your child every night. The children can select books from school to listen to at home as part of their daily routine, these can be changed as frequently as you like. We also ask that children read regularly at home to you. Please see the leaflet regarding reading at home for further information on how best to support your child with this.
The children are also provided with word strings containing the 45 reception high frequency words. They will need help to learn to sight read both the red and green words and to write these by the end of the year.
Learning is about keeping on trying and enjoying what we set out to do! We provide a calming environment which focuses on effort as well as achievements. When we all learn together and from each other we will thrive in our learning!
