Hi, I'm Miss Albani and I teach in Robin Class.

I love teaching in the Early Years Foundation Stage and supporting children throughout their first year in education.

My favourite subjects are definitely Maths and Science. I absolutely love taking all types of learning outdoors.

I am also an avid reader. I do value greatly our story times in class and I like supporting children in immersing themselves into a new book. I enjoy some role play, making props, or simply creating a cosy and inviting reading nook where children can enjoy listening to a story. 

Additional adults working in Robins class: Mr Graves, Miss Harding 

Our timetable: 

Term One:

 

Our learning this term: 

Our topic this term will be 'Marvellous Me!' As the children settle into school and learn new routines, we will be learning about each other, our skills and all the similarities and differences that make us unique! We will be learning how to make new friends, how to talk about our feelings, likes and dislikes. 

Literacy

Linking to our topic 'Marvellous Me!', in Year R we will be reading the books: 

In Literacy, we will learn to:

• recognise and read my name 

• write some letters accurately, including the first letter of my name 

• hold a book the right way up and turn the pages in the correct direction and know that print carries meaning 

• hear words that rhyme 

• use some of my print and letter knowledge in my writing, eg. Writing a shopping list that starts at the top of a page, writing ‘m’ for Mummy. 

Phonics

We are learning to read and write sounds in this order: 

Maths

We will learn to:

• recognise and recreate a simple repeating pattern 

• sort and match items in a range of ways (size, colour, type)

• recognise up to 3 objects without having to count them (subitising) 

• recite numbers past 5 

• say one number for each item in order (up to 5)

• link numerals to amounts, e.g. show the right number of objects to match a numeral up to 5, or use fingers 

• know that the last number reached when counting tells me how many there are in total 

• talk about and explore 2D shapes using informal and mathematical language e.g. flat, round, sides  

Learning at home for Robin Class:

Reading

We are aiming to organise a phonics/reading workshop soon. Please, keep on following this space for more info. 

Be ready for learning! In Robin Class your child will need to have these items in school: 

Everything you send to school MUST be labelled clearly with your child’s name. Lost property will be available for parents to access daily on the school premises should anything go missing. 

• Book bag (provided by school) 

• Water bottle (no squash or juice) 

• Lunch box (if not having a school meal) 

• Wellington boots (to leave in school) 

• Coat (weather appropriate) 

• Bag of spare clothes to leave on your child's peg

Please don’t bring other items or toys into school, as we do not have space to store these, and it can cause upset if things are lost or damaged. 

Outdoor learning:

Outdoor learning plays a pivotal part in our children's development. Therefore, much of our learning in EYFS, takes place outside, and we aim to enjoy our outdoor learning area in any weather! So please, provide a pair of wellington boots which you are happy to leave in school for outdoor play.
