Sharing Information
Please remember key-workers and myself are always available to discuss your child’s progress with you at any stage of their learning journey through Poppets. We welcome an exchange of information in order to best meet your child’s needs and offer activities that enhance and develop their CURRENT interests.
Please continue to update your child’s Tapestry account adding learning and skills seen at home or pictures of what your child enjoys and adventures they have with you.
Transitions to ‘Big School’
Tapestry accounts for children LEAVING POPPETS will remain available to you
ONLY UNTIL Midnight on the 3rd JULY then Jo will magic them into a gift for you.
Key workers and myself will be asking to see all parents of children leaving Poppets this summer in order to complete transition documents. (If you would like to add a photo of your child for their new teacher please bring one to our meeting)
I am at the stage of finalising assessments and recordings of your child’s next steps ready to share with you. Please look out for the appointment posters.
