Dolphins – Reception/Derbynfa
Croeso i Ddosbarth Dolfin!
Welcome to the Dolphin Class.
This year myself, Miss Thomas and Mrs. Molubi-Wells (Miss Jojo) will be here to teach, support, guide and care for you all. We hope to have a fantastic year and we look forward to getting to know about each and every one of you.
Our entrance point will be through the side wooden gate, next to the path up to Nursery, where we will great everyone ( Reception and Year 1 Classes) at 8:50 at the start of the day. This gate will be locked by 9:00, so we ask that anyone who arrives once the gate is locked, enter via the main doors. At home time, we will dismiss our Reception children, one at a time, through the main doors. We do ask for your patience at the start of the year, as this could take a little time as we start to learn new faces and ensure all children get safely to the correct person collecting them.
Our topic this Autumn Term is
‘Ar Y Fferm’ -‘ On The Farm’ .
To help the weeks roll by as smoothly as possible here are some details for our every day routines in class.
P.E
P.E will be on a Monday afternoon and will be dance for this half term – Move It Monday! Please send your child into school dressed in suitable clothing every week that allow for easy movement and comfort.
Outdoor Learning
Outdoor learning in Coed Cadno will be on a Wednesday afternoon – Woodland Wednesday. Children will need a suitable waterproof coat. Wellies are optional but not necessary and can be sent into school and can either be kept in school in a named bag, or come and go as needed each week.
Water bottles and snacks
We believe that children should have access to water throughout the day and ask you to provide your child with a clearly labelled water bottle. Water bottles will be sent home to be washed and refilled daily. If you wish, you can also provide your child with a small, healthy fruit snack, which they will enjoy in class before morning break. All need to be very clearly named as they often get misplaced and tracking them down is tricky if there are no names on them, as the children are so young they often do not recognise their own things.
General Information
It is often a good idea to put a spare change of underwear and trousers/leggings in your child’s bag, in case of any accidents, as they are still so young.
The school menu choices are available to view online, and we recommend you look over them to ensure your child does like the options available each day.
I will post a weekly newsletter here at the end of each week to let families know the learning we have been doing in class and to let you know of any events coming up.
Finally, I want to reiterate a warm welcome to you all and to let you know that our door is always open, should you need us in any way. Here’s to a wonderful year working, learning and having fun together.
Many thanks,
Miss Thomas and Miss Jojo.
