Important information about our class

In Buds class we believe every child has the right to feel safe, is enabled to communicate and is exposed to a variety of experiences to help us develop.

Swimming on Tuesday or Friday

• Soft Play is on Wednesday and Friday
• Your child will do a Flexi bounce session once a week
• PPA – on Tuesday afternoon, it will be covered by Dan Walmsley, HLTA
• Sensory Art will take place throughout the week. If you would like to protect school uniforms from paint, messy play etc. Please send in some old clothes for your child to wear on these days.

Through the week all pupils will experience a wide range of curriculum areas. You will receive a half termly newsletter and class timetable to understand these areas better.

Tapestry & Home Learning – All pupils have an online Tapestry learning journal. Staff will evidence and share learning experiences on a weekly basis. We invite parents to post and share the home learning experiences that take place during the week, weekends and holidays. Please contact us if you are experiencing problems with this.

Home School Communication– all pupils will have a care diary input daily, this is found on Tapestry. It is a great communication tool to share brief accounts of the school day, your child’s evening or morning. Please use this resource to support relationships and effective communication with class teams. You will also receive a weekly ‘memo’ from our team to share the wonderful interaction and learning that has taken place across the week.
