Dear Parents/Carers,
Here is a letter to introduce myself to you and to tell you about the start of your child’s Reception Year. My name is Miss Taylor. I have a passion for teaching and early childhood development; I have experience teaching children in the Foundation Stage and I am also the school SENCO.
Your child will be taught and supported by myself and Mrs Davidson. Together we plan to provide fun, hands-on activities within a safe and stimulating learning environment which will promote your child’s learning. Also joining us in the EYFS are Mrs Church and Mrs Elsdon.
- Mrs Church is an experienced teacher who is known by many children at our school, she is a talented guitar player and will also introduce the children to French. On a Tuesday afternoon the children will have the opportunity to visit our own woodland area within the school grounds.
- Mrs Elsdon is an experienced teacher and Forest School Practitioner. The children will access the woodland in small groups learning on a rotational system. Here at St Anne’s we believe that children and young people are stimulated by the outdoors and typically experience, over time, an increase in their self belief, confidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication, problem-solving skills and emotional well-being. We are all looking forward to teaching your child and working in partnership with you to support your child’s learning.
A great way to hear about the fun and exciting activities that your child takes part in is to download the app ‘Marvellous Me’
‘MarvellousMe’ tells you about the wonderful things that your child is learning, and pings you when they’ve been praised for good work or a great character skill.
It makes you smile, feel proud, and inspires better home learning support and encouragement. Miss Taylor will issue you with a joining code when your child starts school.
‘Class dojo’ helps to support behaviour and our children love to achieve green dojos for good or kind behaviour!
