The Infant class is taught by Miss Wallace. Our teaching assistants are Mrs Kearns and Miss Parker.
PE is taught on Friday afternoons - children will need to wear their PE kit to school.
Reading records will be checked each morning and children receive Class Dojo points for reading at home. We recommend children read with an adult for 20 minutes per day, including spending time talking about what they have read, answering questions about the book and predicting what could happen next.
On Tuesday afternoons, each year group will take turns to visit Forest School with Mrs Kearns. Please ensure children have a pair of wellies and waterproofs in school ready for these sessions.
At this time of year we look forward to welcoming out new reception children to school through our stay and play sessions. The following web sites are full of information and advice for families to help you support your child as they start school:
