 Important information about our class

In Woods class we believe that every child has the right to engage with a broad and balanced curriculum. We believe that building and maintaining friendships is an important life skill, we enjoy working as a team, turn taking and cheering each other on! In Woods, we enjoy a giggle and a joke- learning can be so much fun!

• Flexi bounce is Thursday afternoon- the group of children accessing this will change each half term
• PPA – on Monday morning, it will be covered by Dan, HLTA. Dan teaches PE.
• 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.
• Sensory garden will be visited weekly. We will be visiting in all weathers so please ensure your child has wellies in school.

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.
