Come and take a look at our lovely classroom...

Indoor environment – we have a bright and stimulating classroom where the children are able to play and learn independently and collaboratively in our Welsh, literacy, numeracy, creative, funky fingers, reading, construction, sand, water and role play area. 

Outdoor environment – we are fortunate enough to have access to two large garden areas which provides rich, sensory first hand experiences; space and freedom for our learners to explore, experiment and investigate in their natural environment. These experiences enhance their physical, social, problem solving, risk taking and communication skills.

Class Dojo – Class Dojo is our main form of communication. Please keep an eye this, as important on messages and reminders will be sent out. We also send some wonderful photographs to showcase our learning and show our families all of the fun we have been having.  Please feel free to send me a Dojo message, if you have any questions. We are here to help.

Reading - Please, please can you make sure your child brings their reading book to school every day as we listen to the children read as much as we can throughout the week. It is important that you try to listen to your child read every night. Please can you comment and write in your child’s reading record when you have listened to them read.

Fruit/Snack – Every day we sit together to enjoy a healthy snack. The children are welcome to bring their own healthy snack and water or alternatively pay 30p a day for fruit from school.

School Uniform – School uniform is not compulsory. However the children do look very smart when wearing it and it does save the ‘what to wear today question’. You are able to purchase school uniform form our school office or we allow plain blue jumpers and white polo shirts which are available in most supermarkets.

Label belongings – please label EVERYTHING with your child’s name- coat, jumper, cardigans, polo shirts, bags, drink bottles and snack pots – it really does help and we can then make sure they arrive home safely.

Supporting your child's learning at home

Monster Phonics - We use Monster Phonics to teach reading, there is an app that you are able to download that will support your child in learning their letter sounds, diagraphs and trigraphs and how to read at home.

Numeracy – Practise forming and writing any numbers that your child finds tricky, there are lots of lovely number formation rhymes to help you. Ask your child what they have been learning in maths each week and practise and consolidate these skills at home. Our termly class newsletter will let you know the maths skills that we will be learning each term. 

Reading – Reading a bedtime story to your child every night will help to develop their literacy skills as well as talking to them and questioning them about the story such as: what do you think the book will be about? What do you think will happen next? What was your favourite part/character and why?

If there is anything at all that I can help you with, please do not hesitate to message me on ClassDojo and I will do my best! 

Thank you, 

Mrs Reeves and the Daffodils team
