Robins
Welcome to Robins!
Your child's learning (in Reception) is accessed via Tapestry. We look forward to you contributing as well and hearing about the learning that is happening at home - this may include learning to ride a bike, or even swim!
Here is a Parents' Guide for using Tapestry. Apps can be downloaded for use with iPhones/iPads and Android devices.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to come and see us.

Learning to Read and Write in Robin Class
We run phonics information sessions for parents to support you in helping your child at home as they learn to read. At school, the children learn phonics every day and their reading books they bring home will reflect the sounds they have been learning at school. Full information about our phonics programme can be found on the learning and curriculum pages.
What is phonics?
It is important that children pronounce phonics with pure sounds in order to be successful with their reading and writing. Click here to watch videos to see what they sound like.

In Year 1, we build on the learning from Reception.
