All you need to know about Robin Class

Welcome to Robin Class! Our teachers are Mrs Higgins and Miss Henshaw and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Flint.

In Robins we have Foundation 1 and Foundation 2 children. We spend much of our time learning in the inside and outside provision through play and there are separate group sessions for Phonics, Maths and English.

Snack and Lunches

We will be having a whole class snack of fruit each day.

Foundation 2 children are entitled to free school meals and these are booked through Arbor. 

You child can also bring a packed lunch if they prefer. If providing a packed lunch please do not include sweets, nuts (including nut spreads) or fizzy drinks as part of your child’s lunch. 

Foundation 1 children

Children who are with us all day can bring a packed lunch or have a School dinner. School lunches are £2.53 a day. Dinners are selected and paid for on our online system Arbor.

If providing a packed lunch please do not include sweets, nuts (including nut spreads) or fizzy drinks as part of your child’s lunch. 

Key reminders

 Please label or mark everything your child brings to our Foundation unit including their lunch box, water bottle and clothing items.

Please provide a bag of spare clothes in case of accidents which can stay in Robins on your child’s peg.

Please discourage your child from bringing toys to the classroom as they may get lost or broken and we cannot take responsibility for keeping them safe.

Throughout the year, your child will experience outdoor as well as indoor activities that may include running, balancing and generally being active. With this in mind please send them in weather appropriate clothing and suitable shoes.

Toileting

We have toilets in our classroom and we encourage all children to be independent in using the toilet.

Every child’s development is unique. Some children can be toilet trained earlier and faster than others. It is important to support children to learn at their own pace.

The advice on when to start toilet training children can vary. NHS guidance explains that most children are ready to begin toilet training from around

18 months to 2 years. However, some people may choose to start earlier.

Starting toilet training after 2 and a half to 3 years can make it harder for some children to learn this new skill.

Anyone needing support with this please speak to a member of staff.

We follow the Early Years curriculum:
