Robin Class

A warm welcome to Robin Class – Summer 2025 part ii

We are now in the final few weeks of this academic year - it really has whizzed by and I just want to take a moment to say how much the Robin staff team have loved working with all the Robins this year. They really are a brilliant bunch and we have loved every day. We are looking forward to our final half term which will be filled with a lots of learning and fun! We'll be learning more about the Geography of Barton this half term, including a few walks around our local area.

We love celebrating and learning about the rich diversity we have with our Robin Class family. We always welcome family visitors who can talk to the children about their culture or any festivals they celebrate. If you would be interested in doing this at any point during the year, please do contact Mrs Hedges. Details of the best ways to communicate with the staff can be found on the General Information page.

Please note that PE days have changed to be Wednesday and Friday this half term. We invite the children to come into school wearing their PE kits on their PE days.  As a reminder, this should be a white t-shirt, black or navy shorts/joggers (weather dependent), and their school sweatshirt or fleece. Long hair should be tied up, and earrings should be covered or removed.  Wednesday will also be our swimming day. We are still awaiting the green light for when we can start, but the children will need to bring their swimming costume, towel and easy to put on shoes (like crocs or sandles) in a named bag.

Please take time to have a look at the General Information section to familiarise yourself with all the essential information about being in Robin Class. Refer to the Home Learning section for additional information about learning you can do at home. In the Phonics section you will find videos of how to say and write the sounds and digraphs that we learn in Phonics during Reception and Year 1. Our Gallery section will be updated regularly with photos about what we are getting up to.

On the first Wednesday of each month, with the odd exception, we would like to invite parents, carers or any family member dropping off a Robin Class child to come into class before registration and sit alongside them for a few minutes.  'Welcome Wednesday' is an opportunity to share in the children's work, read with them, or simply discuss the current learning summarised on our classroom working walls.  We hope this will become a precious and rewarding 10 minutes for the whole school community to get together regularly in class.
