Welcome to the Robins class,

We are delighted to welcome you to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Kneesall C of E Primary School. Whether you join us in Nursery or Reception, we know you will have a fabulous time and learn lots of exciting new things.

We are very lucky in the Foundation Stage as we are able to adapt teaching and learning according to the interests of the children, providing spontaneous learning opportunities whilst still adhering to the core principles of the EYFS Statutory Framework. The possibilities and opportunities are endless!

Things to remember:  

To ensure that your child is prepared for each school day, please send them with:

• bag (a backpack that fits everything in is best!)
• reading book and diary (these will be provided when children are ready)
• a named water bottle
• a waterproof coat (we're outside a lot!)
• wellington boots (where possible to stay at school),
• a change of socks and at least two pairs of spare pants and bottoms

Please ensure all items are labelled clearly with your child's name.

Children will not need PE kit during the autumn term as they will have access to resources to help them develop physically such as riding wheeled equipment, playing with a variety of games equipment and making and using obstacle courses. PE lessons will begin in the spring term.

If your child would like milk during our morning snack time, please register at www.coolmilk.com. Under fives receive free milk!

Thank you for your continued support.

Our learning themes for autumn term are 'Me and My World', and 'Celebrations'. Keep an eye on this page for half-termly updates. We will also share photographs and comments about the children's learning on our Class Dojo story, giving parents a glimpse into the exciting activities and lessons we’ve been exploring. If you are new to the school, please look out for an invitation to join Class Dojo which will be sent via email.
