Story/singing/reviewing our learning
Twice a week, we attend whole school assemblies. At different times in the week, we also have two PE lessons, a PSHE lesson, an RE lesson, a Music lesson and learning linked to our topic. We have a balance of adult-led learning and child-initiated learning throughout the day using a mixture of learning inside the classroom and learning in our outdoor area.
This is Mrs Burtoft, our Early Years Leader and Butterflies Class Teacher. As well as teaching Butterflies, she will also be overseeing the Early Years Team. She has chosen to read one of her favourite stories about Butterflies!
Please visit the links above for helpful guidance on your child starting school. The guides cover topics like getting to and from school safely, what to do when you first get into school such as where to put your bags and hang your coat etc, and what happens at lunch times. It's an informative but fun way to speak to your child about their new journey in school life.
Listen to our Radio message to hear some of our Roundswell children talking excitedly about their school days to encourage more children to join them!
Below are some books we recommend to help your child with starting school.
Here are some pictures of what our school uniform looks like.
