  • Mrs Hill – Sky Class Teacher (Thu - Fri)
  • Mr Thompson – Sunshine Class Teacher
  • Mrs Curtis – Learning Support Assistant
  • Miss Grant – Learning Support Assistant

Routines

  • Children enter the classroom at 8.40a.m via our garden gate on the circular playground. We line up at the gate after break and lunch play.
  • The children leave at 3. 15p.m via this gate at the end of the day and are handed over to a recognised adult. Please inform us of any changes.
  • Once school has started the children are independent in putting away their belongings (water bottle, book bag, hanging up their coat).
  • Register and phonics follow. In Reception class we have child initiated, adult initiated and adult led activities throughout the day. 
  • The children will attend a library session, a ICT session, outdoor PE and a woodland outdoor learning session once a week. 
  • Maths sessions and phonics groups are daily. Your child is heard read at least once a week.
