Dear Parents/Carers
We are pleased to let you know the classroom arrangements for September. The children will all have a transition day on Wednesday 10th July where they will spend the day with their new class teacher. Mr Glover will be at Myddle for this and is really looking forward to meeting the children. He would be happy if any parents want to pop in and say hello at the end of the day. New Panda children have 3 different transition sessions and a new parents meeting which you will have received a letter about if it affects you. Our school continues to thrive and we are really happy to have 17 new starters in Pandas this year.
The classes will be as follows:
Snow-Leopards (nursery): Jodie Phillips
Panda class (Reception): Mrs McGrath
Tiger class (year 1/2): Mrs Wenlock (Thursdays Mrs Crowe)
Rhino class (year 3/4): Mr Glover
Jaguar class (year 5/6: Mr Hughes
The staffing in the nursery will be slightly flexible as the numbers of children vary during the year. Jodie will be supported by at least one teaching assistant at all times. This will increase depending on the number of 2 year olds and the ratios needed. They will also be working closely with Mrs McGrath in Pandas and her teaching assistants, which will enable lots of free-flow opportunities between the two classes during the afternoons.
Please spread the word that we have lots of nursery places available, as so many of our current Snow-Leopards are starting school in September. We take children from age 2, and offer 30 hours free childcare when children reach the age of 3. We also do a family session for parent and babies on a Friday, which is a great introduction to our community.
