Class 1 - Miss Billson
Welcome to Class 1!
A huge welcome to all our new starters this year, I hope you feel welcomed into our Wymeswold school community and see your child flourish here. I understand your child starting school is a big step and I aim to make this transition for them as smooth as I can, this first term focuses on them settling in, building relationships and getting to know each other. Please don't hesitate if you have any questions or worries, you can come and see me at the end of the day or contact me over the class email - [email protected].
On this page you will find key documents and plans for this term/year. Within the first term, we hold our class welcome meetings where I will explain how your child is taught and go over some key information you need to know, parents often find this answers many of their questions so please attend if you can. It also gives us a good opportunity to meet without the children, if you have any information you need to share with me.
Children need to bring:
Water bottle
Healthy snack for breaktime (we do provide fruit however it may be one choice on the day)
Coat all weathers (In EYFS we allow children to access our outdoor area all weathers that are safe, if they do not have a coat they may miss experiences in the rain/cold.)
Wellies - We kindly ask that you provide your child with a pair of wellies that will remain at school all year.
Bag - Please send your child with an appropriate sized bag everyday, often children need to take things home along with a reading book that must remain undamaged and of course they always want to bring their wonderful creations home for you!
All personal belongings must be labelled clearly with the child's name. - As your children are very young, items are lost easily however if they have names on we as staff are able to help find them alot easier. It also supports your child to read their own name as they progress and be more independent.
PE days - Thursday and Friday, children need to arrive at school in their PE kit. They do not need to bring uniform alongside this.
Staff
In the classroom the children will have various members of staff that they will get to know along with everyone else in school.

Our classroom
We are very fortunate to have a large classroom area for EYFS this year. The inside area has been carefully arranged and planned to include key areas for the children to access independently, at times we enhance these areas with focus or themed activities. The inside area also holds a large focus area including the carpet space, teacher's desk, whiteboard and desks for focused lessons such as English.
Our area includes an outside area which is separate to the main playground. This area can be accessed by children any time, any weather and includes resources and areas such as; the mud kitchen, sand area, water area, construction area, performance area, chill zone, stepping stones, monkey bars and slide.
