Welcome to Robins class! We are very excited to learn and play with you this year.
Meet our team
Miss Warmoth is the Robins class teacher. Mrs West, Miss Gibson, Miss Bozier, Mrs Lanni and Miss Moore are teaching assistants who all help in the Robin class.
Mrs Arnott will be teaching in Robin class on Wednesday mornings.
A reading book is sent home daily – please write a comment or sign the home school diary to show that you have read with your child each day. We change our books on Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure that your child's book bag is in school each day.
We do PE on Tuesday morning and this is done outdoors whenever possible or in the school hall. Every child needs a full P.E. kit in school and a pair of trainers and /or plimsolls.
To begin our day, the children will come into the classroom hang up their coat and bag and wash their hands. Next, they find their photograph and place it on the 'Zones of Regulation' display to show how they are feeling. After register we sing the days of the week song, discuss the date and the weather and then count how many children are in class today. Then, the children take part in a whole class phonics session followed by a child-initiated learning time. After snack the children listen to the story of the week being read, join in with repeated refrains and discuss the story. This is followed by a short maths session and opportunities to consolidate this new learning are provided during child-initiated learning.
During the lunch hour, the children will be supported by mid-day supervisors and some of the reception staff, who help them with their lunch and encourage them to try new foods. After lunch, the children play in the outdoor learning environment and particularly enjoy using the climbing equipment.
The afternoon starts with a reading session, small groups of children will be heard read individually and the others will take part in a larger group guided reading session. This is followed by another period of child-initiated learning. At the end of the day, the children have a circle time session or a story before getting ready for home.

Then we made patterns around the outside using a range of modelling tools.
We drew around our hands, decorated them
with Mendhi patterns and then
cut them out.
Fireworks
We flicked paint onto large pieces
of black paper to make a firework background for our display.
We wrote rocket countdowns,
made rockets and even wrote firework sounds
on coloured stars.

Tapestry
Your child will have an online learning journal through the Tapestry app. For guidance on how to use the app, please speak to Miss Warmoth, who can support you with: signing up, viewing observations and uploading observations from home. We would love for parents to contribute to the journals by uploading learning achievements from home! This could be from a club, new experiences or a skill that has been mastered at home!
At Hillshott Infant and Nursery school we follow the PenPals handwriting scheme. Our younger children are introduced to four main characters which help them to memorise the sequence for writing each letter correctly. The key thing to remember is that all letters start from the top
(apart from d and e).
Pattern practice and ‘play’ writing are an important part of handwriting development. Your child will be practicing letter formation in a number of exciting ways: in sand, using paint, in the air, on the interactive television screens and iPads, as well as on paper with a pencil!
