Hello and welcome to Kingfishers Class

I hope you are looking forward to returning to school after the summer holidays. I am 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 will also be at the hall entrance at 3.15. Please wait around the stage area and I will release the children to parents one at a time as and when I see them. Please be patient when 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? 

You do not need to bring a rucksack. A book bag is a good idea.

On the first day you will need to bring:

- the pencil case your child was given before the end of term. 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 Wednesday. 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 Wednesdays. 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 Thomas.

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

Your teachers and teaching assistants will be Mr Smith and Mrs Woodward. You can see pictures of us on the link page. There are pictures of the classroom on the link page also. 

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.

Mr Smith/ Mrs Woodward
