Welcome to EYFS Portugal Class!

The Class Teacher is Mrs Rumsey.

Our Teaching Assistants are: Miss Bewick and Miss Holmes

We would like to take this opportunity to thank parents for supporting us with our smooth transition over the first week. 

A few reminders as you begin to bring your children into school:

+ The classroom doors open at 8.40am. 

+ Remember to say goodbye to your child. This means a lot to your child and helps them to start their day well. 

PE DAYS - Wednesday - Children can come in to school in their PE kit on this day.  Please make sure that your child does not have earrings in. 

 

+ Please ensure your child has the correct uniform which complies with the Academy uniform policy.

 

+ Water bottles can be brought into class. They must contain only water.

+ Please can you ensure that you write your child's name in all pieces of clothing.

+ Please communicate with the teachers and teaching assistants, we are here to help and want to support your child as they settle into school. If you would like to speak to a member of staff, we can arrange this at an appropriate time. Alternatively, please use Tapestry to contact us.

+ Please look at Tapestry to view your child's online journal. You will be able to see all the fantastic learning they have been doing in school.

+ Smile, have fun and enjoy your child's first year in school. Remember we are here to help and support you and your child on this journey.
