Welcome
to Foundation Stage 2
Miss Tims
Meet your teacher
Hello, my name is Miss Tims. I’ve been teaching for an amazing nine years, and I absolutely love everything about the Early Years Foundation Stage. As an FS2 Teacher and EYFS Leader, I’m passionate about creating a learning environment where children can explore, investigate, and grow through play. I also enjoy teaching early reading and phonics using the Read Write Inc. programme, supporting children as they take their first exciting steps into reading. I believe that the best learning happens when it’s hands-on and meaningful, especially through stories and imaginative experiences. One of my favourite parts of teaching is sharing books with my class—The Stickman by Julia Donaldson is a firm favourite!
Meet your Teaching Assistants
Mrs Broadhead
Hi, I’m Mrs Broadhead, and I’m the Teaching Assistant in FS2. I’ve been working as a Teaching Assistant for 9 years, and for the past 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Miss Tims. I absolutely love being part of the Early Years team and supporting our youngest learners as they begin their school journey, watching the children’s confidence and curiosity grow every day. I have a real passion for helping children develop their speech and language skills, and I work closely with the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) as well as targeted Speech and Language plans to support individual needs. I also love to read, I am a very avid reader, exploring a wide range of genres in my free time, I love to share my enthusiasm for reading with the little ones and feel privileged to be part of their journey towards being a reader themselves.
Class Information
FS2 Session Times
8:45am to 3:15pm
(Door closes at 8:55pm)
For Reception, the children will need to bring a bookbag for reading books and letters, a water bottle and outdoor clothing such as a waterproof coat and a pair of wellington boots.
Children will need an indoor and outdoor PE kit. Our PE day is Friday at 9am. Children can arrive in their PE kit and will get changed back into their uniform after their PE session.
Every Friday the children will engage in ‘Challenge Friday’ where they will spend the morning completing challenges set by Super Ted. As a reward for completing all the challenges, the children will receive treats from Super Ted.
In Early Years we consistently engage in baking activities and ask parents to make a small, voluntary contribution of £6 per year for the cost of resources (£1 per half-term).
Our Learning
Our class has a Dojo account where we will regularly update you with information about our learning, events that may be happening and things that we are really proud of. Please ensure you check this regularly as we will also share information on our school and class story.
Attendance is really important to us at Lodge. Please ensure that you arrive at school on time, every day and be ready to learn!
