Mrs Gascoyne would like to welcome you all to Clover class.

We will also be beginning a story telling session in school following the principles of Tales toolkit. This is a new initiative in school and we are very excited to be developing this area of the curriculum.

Welcome to Clover Class 

 Autumn Term 2024 

Dear Parents/Carers, 

I hope that you have all had a restful half term and are looking forward to the rest of the Autumn term, in the run up to Christmas! I am looking forward to watching your children continue to grow in confidence, excitement and enthusiasm over the next half term.  

Curriculum  

An outline of what we will be covering in each subject area is displayed in the table below: 

We will be using Structured Storytimes from our new CUSP curriculum to cover areas of the wider curriculum and following children’s interests. 

I will send more detailed information weekly so you can support your child’s learning at home. 

 Forest Schools 

Clover Class will continue to take part in Forest School once a week on a Friday afternoon. 

Please make sure your child brings a complete Forest school kit with them as the meadow will begin to get very muddy! 

Reading 

You should encourage your child to read daily/ practice their sounds at home. Please record a comment in your reading record book at least five times a week. I will check reading record books every Friday. Please continue to use your speed sounds books to practice your child’s sounds daily. 

Please continue to add books shared at home to our Clover Class padlet. 

If you or anyone you know would be interested in coming to the school to help listen to children read, please send me an email as we would love to have you. 

We will continue to visit the school library on Wednesday to choose books to take home. 

What your child needs in school. 

The children must have a named water bottle (with a sports cap) with them in school at all times which will be placed in a box in the classroom each morning. No other items need to be brought into school; this includes fidget toys, pencil cases, toys and stationery, unless adults in school request it or it is required to support additional needs. 

Uniform 

Please consult the school website or recent letter to see what is expected to be worn to school in terms of uniform. Smart trainers may be worn as long as they are completely black. Please make sure your child is bringing a coat into school as the weather gets colder and wetter. 

Bags and Wellies 

The children may bring in one bag, which must be a suitable size for hanging on their pegs, and a separate, named bag for their wellies (both of which must be named) to be stored on the welly rack. 

If you have any questions at all about these or any other matters, please email me on kgascoyne@pulham.norfolk.sch.uk . 

We are very excited for the half term ahead! 

Kind regards, 

Mrs. Gascoyne, Mrs Stone, Mrs Shreeve, Mrs Grant and Mrs Kineavy. 

Dear Parents/Carers,

Forest Schools

A letter outlining what will be required will be sent in due course from Mrs. Shreeve.

Reading

You should be sharing stories with your child at home every day. Please record a comment in the reading record book at least five times a week about the books you have shared. The reading record book will be checked for comments by staff once per week. This will usually be a Friday. I will hold a meeting in school to share how we teach reading at school and how you can help at home.

The children will visit the school library once a week on a Wednesday and bring a book home to share. Please return this book every Wednesday so they can choose a new one.

What your child needs in school

The children must always have a named water bottle in school which will be placed in a classroom box each morning. No other items need to be brought into school; this includes fidget toys, pencil cases, toys and stationery, unless adults in school request it or it is required to support additional needs. Spare clothes can be left on your child’s peg. If the weather is hot the children will need a hat in school.

Uniform

Please consult the school website or recent letter to see what is expected to be worn to school in terms of uniform. Smart trainers may be worn as long as they are completely black.

Wellies

Please can the children bring wellies into school that can remain on our welly rack during the week. Please name both wellies.

If you have any questions at all about these or any other matters, please email me on kgascoyne@pulham.norfolk.sch.uk.  If you would prefer to speak in person, then please arrange a meeting with me.

Please look out for a letter which will contain information about a meeting in school outlining how we teach reading at Pulham Primary school.

We are very much looking forward to working with you and your children in the term ahead!

Kind regards,

Mrs. Gascoyne, Mrs. Shreeve, Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Stone
