Meet the staff

Autumn Term

Reception Pupils welcome video:-

Your child will be begining their special learning journey into Reception class on
​5th September 2024. 
We thought it might be helpful if we made a video of the Reception class for you to watch at home with your little one and discuss how they will enter their classroom, where they will hang up their belongings, see where the toilets are and where they will be having their fruit and snack time and most importantly where they will be having a wonderful time playing and learning with their friends.

Please click on the images below to watch these You Tube videos.
They will hopefully help to explain what the majority of Reception teachers are aiming to achieve with their pupils during their year in Dosbarth Derbyn:-

Welcome to Nursery ​

Welcome to Nursery!  We are looking forward to having lots of fun and making new friends.  This information below will give you some details about activities and events your child will be involved in.

Outdoor Learning!
The children will have the opportunity to go outside and enjoy playing in the woods. (Day to be confirmed). The children may get a little dirty! Please could you send in a pair of Wellingtons and if possible a waterproof all in one that we can keep in school. Even though we will be in the woods every week, we might pop out for a splash on other occassions! ​

​Snack time
Fruit and other healthy snacks are served every day. The cost for snacks is £1 per week which is payable once a half term.
This payment includes the cost of golden time and cooking. As a school, we are currently in the process of setting up an online payment system, which will be used for paying for snack time etc. In the meantime, we kindly ask you to send cash in the envelope provided. Further information will follow.

Uniform
We do our very best to keep the children clean and tidy, providing aprons and using water-based paints. Please see the children’s uniform as ‘workwear’ and sometimes they will come home a bit messy!
Uniform with the school badge can be purchased from Sew and sew embroidery www.sewandsew.online. Although it is not compulsory, and uniform can be bought from clothes shops/supermarkets. 
Please label all clothes/coats/bags with your child’s name.

 Water bottles
Children are encouraged to bring a drink of water to school. We will have a box in class they can place their drink and help themselves throughout the day.
Please label the bottle with their name. 
 
Reading
Sharing stories at home is invaluable to your child’s overall development. Singing songs, nursery rhymes and spending time talking together will have a positive impact.
We will be having a library session every week, where you and your child to choose a book from our class library. (Day to be confirmed).
 
Wellcomm
This is a scheme we use to assess the children’s language development. It quickly identifies areas of concern in language, communication, and interaction development to ensure early targeted intervention is in place. Staff plan play based activities and if there is anything, you can do at home to help we will let you know.
