Welcome to our EYFS class page

Welcome to the Meadows Primary School and to our Early Years page - we hope you enjoy looking through the things that we do in school and that you find the following information useful.  

Welcome to all our new Chicks and Ducklings as we begin our journey this Autumn term. We are really looking forward to getting to know you all you all and starting your learning journey with you. 

Information for parents/carers:

If you have any questions, concerns or queries about your child, you can message us on Tapestry or send us an e-mail on: EYFS@meadows.shropshire.sch.uk

A member of our team will check emails once a day, first thing in the morning  and get back to you.  We check Tapestry throughout the day but if you need an important message to get to us please telephone the school office and speak to someone to ensure the message has been received. 

We will issue the children with two 'Library' books each week.  These are books that will be chosen by the children and ones for you to read to them for theirs and your enjoyment.  We don't expect the children to be able to read these themselves.   

We have a PE slot on Wednesday afternoons. We ask children to come to school in their PE kits and they will wear these through the day and then come home in them. (Please see class booklet for information on PE kit)

Fridays are Fantastic Forest Fridays.  After 'Well done' assembly we get ourselves ready by putting on extra layers if it is chilly along with wellies and waterproofs and then head into our forest area for the morning. Please make sure your child is wearing clothes that you don't mind them getting dirty. 

Please check your child's Tapestry account regularly so that you can see how they are getting on in school and see what they are learning about.  Tapestry is a great conversation tool too e.g. Look at a posted photo and ask your child to tell you about what they've been learning about today. 

It is intended that these online journals are not just for school observations but we would appreciate any observations, photos or videos that you put on there yourselves about your child's learning or achievements at home e.g. when they've achieved a swimming certificate or been really brave at the park etc.

The Tapestry journal is meant to be a snapshot of their home and school learning life and we love to see parents commenting on their child's achievements on here.  

Thank you for your support
