Information for Children

Hello!

I hope you are excited about joining Talavera Infant School. I am extremely excited to meet and welcome you to your new school. My name is Mrs Cook and I am the Head teacher at the school. My job is to make sure that everyone is happy and enjoys learning new things. The children and the teachers here are kind, fun and very helpful. They are looking forward to showing you how we do things at Talavera Infant School. Our fantastic building has lots of fun equipment and plenty of outdoor space for you to enjoy with the new friends you make. In your class next year, there will be lots of exciting things to learn, which will help you as you grow and develop. We have a great community here and we like to look after each other.

I hope that you enjoy looking at this book with your family. I have hidden 6 Talavera teddies on the pages see if you can find them, whilst you are looking at all of the fun things to do.

Have a fabulous summer and I will see you in September.

Take a look at our school

School will start at 8.40am and finish at 3.10pm. It is important to be on time every day.

We hang our coats on a peg.

We put our bookbags in a drawer.

We put our jumpers and cardigans in a box.

We ask you to bring in a water bottle every day and you will put your water bottle in one of the trays.

We encourage all of the children to follow our golden rules:

By following our Golden Rules you will gain stamps on your Good Citizen card. When you get 10 stamps, you will receive a yellow badge!

When you put lots of effort into your learning, you will get a Good Work Point. When you receive 10 Good Work Points, you will receive a blue badge.

After receiving 5 badges in total you will be awarded a Head teacher’s medal.

After you have settled into Year R, you will be given a reading book and a reading record. We ask parents and carers to write in the reading record every time you read at home. We expect you to read at home at least 3 times a week and more if you can.
