Hello and welcome back to Puffins Class

I hope you are looking forward to returning to school after the summer holidays. We are very much looking forward to seeing you. I am sure you will have lots of questions so below I have tried to predict what those questions may be and try to answer them. 

What time do I come to school and where do I go to? 

Your arrival time will be from 8:45. At 8.55 the gates will locked.  You will need to enter the school through the hall door in a morning and walk down to the classroom. Dismissal however will be from the 'Health Hub' gate by the entrance at 3.15. Please queue along the fence so that other parents have easy access to the playground. Also, please be patient as we dismiss the children as it takes a little time to make sure every child is safely dismissed to the adult who is collecting them. If you need to speak to us please wait until all the children have been dismissed. Thank you.

What do I need to bring? 

As little as possible. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BRING A RUCKSACK.

On the first day you will need to bring

- pencil case. See the link page for what you need in your pencil case. Your pencil case will stay in school. 

- water bottle

- coat (weather dependent)

Lunch will be provided by school either a hot meal or sandwiches. Please do not bring a packed lunch.  

What about PE? 

We will be doing PE on a Monday and Friday. On these days you will need to wear your PE kit for school all day. You will come to school in your PE kit and go home in your PE kit. You will need to wear  a white T-shirt, navy shorts with your school jumper and navy track suit bottoms/leggings or a school tracksuit. Trainers that you can fasten independently are to be worn on your feet as PE may be outside. 

What will happen at playtime and lunchtime? 

Our playtime will be 10:35am and our MUGA and adventure equipment day will be on Tuesdays. Our lunchtime will be from 12 noon until 1:00pm. You will play outside and then come in to have lunch in the hall. Our lunchtime supervisor is Mrs Moreton.

Who will be my teachers and what will the classroom be like? 

Your teachers and teaching assistants will be Mrs Lloyd, Mrs Kendrick, Ms Pringis,  and Mrs Dudley. You can see pictures of us on the link page. There are pictures of the classroom on the link page. 

We hope this answers some of your questions. You will feel a little nervous and that is completely understandable but we will do our best to help you to feel comfortable and happy.

See you soon.

Mrs Lloyd / Mrs Kendrick
