Welcome to Minotaur Class

In MInotaur class we use Class Dojo to keep in touch with both parents and pupils: copies of letters, photos and reminders of events will be shared this way and this is an effective way to communicate between school and home.

Snack

If your child would like a snack at first break time then please send the money in a marked packet with their name on. Money can be sent in daily or weekly. Prices are below:

Toast 30p

Teacake 40p

Croissant 60p

Pizza (Fridays) 60p

School Uniform

At Gateford Park, the uniform consists of white polo shirt (with or without logo), black or grey skirt/pinafore or trousers, blue gingham dresses, blue sweater or cardigan (ideally with logo). Children should wear black school shoes with school uniform, NOT trainers. Jewellery should be kept to an absolute minimum for safety reasons and because valuable items can be easily lost. Please no necklaces, bracelets, rings, dangly earrings.

For PE, please ensure that your child has a plain white t-shirt (with or without logo) and plain black or navy blue shorts/joggers/leggings, with appropriate footwear (trainers or plimsoles). We have spare shorts and t-shirts in school for those who forget or who come to school in the incorrect kit. No jewellery at all should be worn for PE.  Our PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days.

Our topics this year are:

Autumn 1 - Pig Heart Boy

Autumn 2 - Harry Potter

Spring 1 - Race across the World

Spring 2 - Mayans

Summer 1 - Tudors

Summer 2 - Onwards and Upwards

We want your child to feel happy and secure at school and this is our ultimate aim to enable them to make consistent progress. If there are any problems, questions or concerns about your child please don’t hesitate to pop in after school or send a message through class dojo.

We look forward to seeing you all soon,

Minotaur Class Team
