Autumn Term 2025

Welcome to our school!

We are the puffins class and we work alongside penguins as an EYFS unit.

Your teachers are -

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday AM - Mrs Gusman

Wednesday PM, Thursday, Friday - Mrs Rodger

Miss Goble, Miss Choudhury and Mrs Lillistone are our reception Teaching Assistants Monday-Friday.

In the Autumn term, our focus will be on settling your children in to school life, then our focus topics will be traditional tales, Autumn, Harvest and Christmas. We also want to know what you love to play with and talk about and will plan learning and activities around that where we can!

Our PE day is a Friday. Children may come to school wearing PE kit on this day.

Your child will be bringing home 2 reading books - a book to read to you and a book to read together. Please record any reading in the orange reading journal and make sure your child brings their books too school every day.

Please look below for additional information about the Early Year's curriculum and how we teach at St Margaret's. 

If you have any questions, please email puffins@stmargaretsipswich.org

Key Person

As stated in the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, your child must be assigned a key person to help ensure that every child’s learning and care is tailored to meet their individual needs. 'The key person must seek to engage and support parents and/or carers in guiding their child’s development at home. They should also help families engage with more specialist support if appropriate'. (Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage Setting the standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to five. 1:16)
 

In Puffins Class, Mrs Gusman or Mrs Rodger will be your child's key person.
