Hello Everyone!
Welcome to our F2 Family. We are Mrs. Atkinson and Mrs. Stirling we will be your class teachers. Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Jennings, Miss Dalton and Mrs. Rowark will also be in the classroom to help you learn. Your class names will be FSA (Mrs Atkinson) or FSS (Mrs Stirling). We can't wait to meet you all in September.
You will enter school through the F2 door each morning at 8.40. Mrs. Stirling or Mrs. Atkinson will be at this entrance ready to say "Good Morning." Our cloakroom is a place for you to keep all your things whilst you are at school. We are very lucky to have our own toilets in our classroom that you can go to throughout the day. Every morning, an adult will show you where they are and remind you how to carefully wash your hands using soap and water.
Here are just a few of our learning areas you will have chance to go into during the day. You will be able to build, paint pictures, role play and lots more. There will be lots more areas in September to help you learn and explore. At lunch time, you will go to the hall with the teachers from your class to eat your dinner. We will be there to help you carry your dinner and to help you settle in. At lunch time, you will go outside with your lunchtime supervisors Mrs Jennings and Miss Morgan. This is where you can have some fresh air and play with your friends. You will leave the classroom through the same door you came in and find your adult waiting for you on the other side at home time.

Foundation Stage Outdoor Area
The Early Years Foundation stage has recently had a new outdoor learning environment built. This is an amazing area for the children at Long Toft Primary School. The children are able to use the outdoor environment on a daily basis.
Busy Bench
The busy bench encourages the children to explore, construct and experiment using a variety of learning materials. During their play, they will communicate with their friends, ask and answer questions, test their ideas and make decisions about what they are making.
Builders Yard
The builders yard encourages the children to develop their role playing skills. This is also a great area to develop the children’s mathematical skills. When building, the children will work together, listen to their friend’s ideas and learn to play co-operatively.
Maths Hide
In this area the children will participate in maths games such as skittles and Jenga. The children will use natural materials to develop their understanding of pattern and composition of number.
Storytelling Throne
The storytelling area encourages the children to share their love of books with their friends. Helps to develop their listening and communication skills and helps them to develop their ability to concentrate. Within this area the children have access to small world characters so they can use their knowledge of stories and their imagination to create their own stories.
Mud Kitchen
The mud kitchen helps the children to develop their gross and fine motor skills. Whilst enjoying the messy play, they are able to use all their senses to communicate their ideas to their friends, develop mathematical and scientific concepts and take on a role in their play.
Water Pumps and Tunnel
In this area the children develop their hand eye coordination, solve problems and develop their understanding of maths and science concepts. They enjoy filling and emptying the buckets and watching the water roll down the tunnel walls. This area helps with the children’s physical development.
Sand Area
Sand play helps the children to develop their fine and gross motor skills, building strength and control. They can use this area to develop their communication and language skills, imagination and understanding of mathematical and scientific concepts. It helps children to use all their senses to explore the differences between materials and the natural world around them.
Fort
The children have great fun climbing up the slope and becoming a character when they enter the fort. This area is great for building confidence and enables the children to tell stories and act out characters from the stories.
