EYFS

Meet the Team

 

 

Welcome to EYFS!

 

Hello and a very warm welcome to EYFS!

We are Mrs Smith and Mrs Moore, and we will be your teachers in EYFS. Miss Jones and Mrs Brown are our teaching assistants and will also be there to support you throughout your time with us.

Mrs Smith is in school from Monday to Wednesday, and Mrs Moore is in school from Wednesday to Friday, so there will always be a familiar face ready to welcome you each day.

Starting school is such an exciting milestone, and we understand that it can bring lots of different feelings for both children and their families. We will do everything we can to help your child settle in, feel happy, safe and secure, and quickly become part of our class.

We hope that both you and your child feel confident and relaxed about joining us and becoming part of our Trawden Forest School family.

We are really looking forward to getting to know you, sharing lots of wonderful experiences together and joining you on your exciting learning journey!

If you have any questions, need any more information or would just like to say hello, please feel free to e-mail us at kmoore@trawden.lancs.sch.uk & dsmith@trawden.lancs.sch.uk or alternatively you can contact the school office on 01282 865242.

Reminders

Water

Please make sure your child brings a labelled water bottle containing water to school every day. This will help them stay hydrated throughout the day. They have access to their water bottle all day.

Milk

Children aged four are offered free milk from Cool Milk each afternoon. Once your child turns five, parents will need to visit the Cool Milk website to arrange and pay for milk if they would like their child to continue receiving it.

Healthy Snacks

Children are provided with a school snack in the morning which is usually a piece of fruit or vegetable. They may also bring one healthy snack to enjoy in the afternoon playtime, such as fruit or another low-sugar snack.

• Snacks will be kept in your child’s tray.
• Thank you for not sending chocolate, crisps or high-sugar snacks.
• We are a nut-free school, so please do not send any snacks containing nuts. This helps us to keep everyone safe.
• More information can be found on our ‘Snacks & Lunch’ page.

School and Packed Lunches

All children in EYFS are entitled to a free school lunch. If you prefer your child to bring a packed lunch, please make sure it is provided in a labelled lunch bag.

PE Kits

Please ensure your child’s PE kit is kept in school each week and that all items are clearly labelled with their name.

PE kits will stay on your child’s peg and will be sent home at the end of each half term for washing.

Forest School

Children do not need to bring any additional waterproof clothing or wellies for Forest School in EYFS, as we provide an all-in-one waterproof suit and wellies for each child.

During the colder months, please send your child with a warm hat, gloves, scarf and some spare socks to help keep them warm and comfortable.

Labelling Belongings

Please make sure that all of your child’s belongings are clearly labelled with their name, including book bags, coats, jumpers, PE kits, snack and lunch bags, and water bottles. This really helps us to make sure that belongings find their way back to the right child!
