Transition & change

Transition We have already started….! Beth - Reception already coming up to playground at lunchtimes Will be coming to assemblies Spent day on site for polling day Meet the teacher in the last week of term

Days 1 and 2 Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th September On these days, we invite parents and carers to come into the classroom and to settle their child onto the carpet. All Year 1 classes will be in the corridor where the children line up for their lunch in reception. TA will be at the door to welcome them Children will be collected at 3.15pm from their classroom door on the balcony Ellie - The quicker parents leave their child, the easier the transition will be

Day 3 onwards… To encourage independence Year 1 will line up in front of their teacher in the Key Stage 1 playground. The teacher will then take them into the class. Home time will remain the same. Collect at the balcony. Please be patient with staff when collecting your child as we won’t know everyone’s parents. Ellie

Forest School Help to settle them as it’s a familiar routine. Jo Hinson will run this similarly to reception forest school. Parent Volunteers. Ellie
