Poppy class - Reception

Welcome to Poppy Class

Welcome to Poppy Class!

We have been so impressed by how the children have settled into full time school.

Can we please ask that all jumpers, cardigans, water bottles and bags have the children's names written in them. It is very difficult to make sure that we give the correct cardigan to the right child if their name is not in it.

If you have any questions, concerns or worries please see a member of staff at the start or end of the day. We are always here to help and support you in any way we can.

The Staff in Poppy Class are:

Mrs Stevens - Class Teacher on Monday and Tuesday

Mrs Turner - Class Teacher on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

We also have Mrs Pala, Mrs Susana, Mrs Madlani, Mrs Marta working with us too.

EYFS Long Term Plan 2024-2025.pdf

Please see our long term plan for more detail about what themes and learning will be taking place this year.

Our learning for Autumn 1:

This half term we will be mainly focussing on settling into full time school. Our theme is 'Super Me!' where we will be getting to know all of the special things about the children.

We will have a story of the week and will be learning new words and vocabulary from the text. We will also be singing lots of new songs to help us with our vocabulary and counting.

Things to do at home...

Please share as many stories and books with your child at home. Talk about what is happening, who is in the story and what they liked about it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please take any opportunity to include counting into your daily routine. Can you count the stairs as you walk down them? Can they show you how many they have on their fingers? Can they spot numbers whilst they are out and about?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect our children to take responsibility for their classroom and toys; it is their space to care of. We will always support our children to be independent learners and you can help with this by encouraging them to dress/undress independently, helping to prepare meals (using tools safely) and having small responsibilities around the house such as pairing socks and putting their toys away.

PE day is Thursday. Children will need black shorts, white t-shirt and black plimsols or some trainers.

Joining the Library

We believe that stories and reading is one of the most important things to share and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out. Joining the library and borrowing books is completely free. Our closest library is on Narborough Road (although there are lots of libraries all over the city). There are no forms to fill in, just drop in with some proof of ID. Why not pop in after school? You can join for free and start borrowing today!
