Information for Parents/Carers

 

The start of the school day

The reception gates will open at 8.45am and will close at 8.55am Please encourage your child to come into school by themselves as this promotes independence and allows for a calmer start to the day. If there are no adults at the gate, you will need to take your child to the main entrance.

 

The end of the school day

At the end of the school day, the children will leave from their designated gate. We ask you kindly that you stand well back from the gate as it can be daunting for the children to see a sea of legs as they make their way to their parent/carer. For safety reasons, we will want to make eye contact with whoever is collecting your child before we allow the children to make their way to you. The school day finishes at 3.15pm.

 

PE

Please ensure your child has their PE kit in school on a Thursday. Our school uniform for PE is a white t-shirt, navy blue shorts and elasticated pumps. Your child's earrings must be removed for PE due to health and safety reasons and school staff are not able to remove earrings. Your child's uniform must be clearly labelled so no items are misplaced.

 

Forest School

Please ensure your child brings a waterproof coat and wellies into school as they will participate in Forest School sessions weekly. We do learn outside whatever the weather.

 

Reading Books

Please ensure your child has their reading book and reading record in school each day so we can listen to them read and change their books. Please note, we only change books once the record has been signed by an adult 3 times. This is taken from the school's Reading Policy.

 

Phonics - Read Write Inc

Each half term your child will have a phonics assessment to ensure they are progressing within the Read Write Inc scheme and to ensure that they are placed in the correct phonics ability group. You may receive video links via ClassDojo to support your child with their speed sounds knowledge and blending skills.

 

High Frequency Words

At the end of the year your child is expected to be able to read and spell a range of high frequency words. These are our hungry caterpillar words and can be found below.

 

Communication

At Fairfield, we really do value communication with parents/carers. Staff are available at the start and end of the school day and we also use ClassDojo for communication purposes. Please communicate any concerns or questions with us and together we will find a solution.

This link will take you to a range of EYFS games which the children will enjoy.

 

Teach Your Monster To Read (free website/paid APP) Play
