Hello everybody and welcome to Hamilton Class! We are named after Lewis Hamilton because he came from a disadvantaged background and worked really hard to become successful. He also continues to help others who are less fortunate than him to help them achieve their dreams.

The adults supporting the class this year are:

Miss Knox - Class Teacher Monday - Thursday

Mrs Travers - Class Teacher Friday

Morgan - Teaching Assistant

Miss Knight - Teaching Assistant

Lucy - Apprentice Teaching Assistant

Ms Pooley - Higher Level Teaching Assistant

The children will continue to have the chance to participate in exciting Forest School activities such as minibeast hunting and creating bug habitats in our large outdoor area - don't forget your wellies!

Early reading is an essential part of successful development in Reception Class. Please ensure that you hear your children read each day and record in their reading diary when they have read with you at home. We encourage books to be put in your child's bookbag when you have finished reading it to ensure it is brought to school each day.

Please keep checking your child's Dojo account for any messages that we might send you about the learning taking place in school.

We look forward to continuing our exciting learning adventure in Reception Class, watching your children grow and develop during their time with us. 

Parent Notices:

• If you have not already activated your Dojo account, please do so as soon as possible! Dojo is a great way to communicate with your teacher and find out what is happening in school.   In addition, home learning challenges may be posted on Dojo to encourage and extend your child's learning at home. If you need assistance, please  ask on the gate or phone us at the front office. 
• Remember to send a pair of labelled wellies with your child for Forest School on Wednesday. If you have any old wellies that don't fit anymore we will happily take donations for children who forget theirs or do not have any!
• If you choose to opt out of Religious Education, please send in an activity for your child to complete in its place. This can be related to literacy, maths, or another topic to  enrich  your child's learning  experience. 
• Remember to read with your child each night and sign the yellow Reading Record when we start to send books home. 

• Reading with your child at home is so important in their early stages of development. We ask that children bring in their yellow books and reading books on the dates stated in their reading record.
