Autumn Term 2026 in Robin Class

Here you will find the essential information for Robin Class.

Morning Routines

Please bring your children to the school playground at 8.45am where Robin Class Staff will be there to greet them at the Robin Class gate. If you need to pass on quick messages, such as a change in collection arrangements, this is a good time to do so. Once inside, the children will hang up their coats, put their bookbags into the trays before exploring the areas of provision in the classroom.

End of the Day Routines

EYFS - First 2 Weeks: The children will be collected from the outside the school office at the front of school at 12pm on the first week of term, and 1pm on the second week of term. We will keep the children inside and 

Children in Robin Class will be collected from the Robin Class outside area (inside the blue gates) at 3.20 pm. We will keep the children inside the classroom until their family member (or nominated other) is identified. Where pick up is late for any reason, children will wait to be collected from the office area. Please can you make sure that if your child is being collected by a nominated other that you have either spoken to Mrs Thompson or Mrs Hedges at drop-off and have emailed the school office before 3pm.

Essential Equipment for Everyday

• Named water bottle
• Named coat 
• Reading books and Reading Journal Please can these be brought in every day as the children may read with adult any day of the week. We recommend a book bag, which can be purchased from the school office, as the best way to carry books and journals to and from school. (More information on reading books in the Home Learning section).
• Named wellies and waterproofs Please can children have a named pair of boots and a named waterproof coat and trousers which are to be kept at school in a bag on their peg.

Communication

If you have a quick, non-urgent message to relay or question to ask regarding the day ahead, please have a quick word on the playground in the morning before the line up bell rings.

Urgent messages should come through the office, either by telephone (01223 262474) or by email (Office@barton.cambs.sch.uk) as these will be dealt with immediately.

You can email Mrs Thompson or Mrs Hedges at athompson@barton.cambs.sch.uk / ahedges@barton.cambs.sch.uk. Generally speaking, teaching staff cannot access their emails during the school day.

Seesaw

In Robin Class we use the Seesaw app to communicate the children’s learning and achievements between home and school. We will share your ‘wow moments’ on Seesaw which you can access at home. We also love to see what the children are doing at home so please do share photos of any special news or activities via the messaging feature.

PE

Our Class PE days this half term will be Thursday and Friday.

Please send your child into school in their school PE Kits on those days.

Our PE Kits are a plain white t-shirt with black shorts. On colder days, plain jogging bottoms and plain (or school) sweat shirt should be included. Velcro trainers are preferable if your child does not know how to tie their own laces.

Breaks and Lunchtimes

Morning break is at 10:30 each day.  Children in EYFS and KS1 are provided with a free fruit or vegetable snack each day which the children enjoy together before break. If you prefer to, you can of course provide your own healthy, sesame and nut-free morning snack instead, or in addition to. Lunches will be eaten together in the hall, starting at 12.05 pm.
