Hello! Welcome to EYFS! We are always busy playing and learning! Our class author is Julia Donaldson and we are currently enjoying lots of her books, one of our favourites is the Gruffalo! We are very lucky to have access to two big outdoor areas and aim to take our learning outside whenever possible! 

For more information about what we will be covering this year, please click on the file below to view our long term plan overview.

There are multiple websites that your child could use at home and will be using within class:

• https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/
• BBC iPlayer - Numberblocks
• Early Number Sense - I See Maths

Reading in EYFS

Share books are sent home on a Friday to be returned the following Monday. These books are for you to share and enjoy together. We encourage reading and discussing the book with questions such as “how is this character feeling?” and “what do you think will happen next?”  We encourage ‘book talk’ which involves talking about the title, front cover, back cover and blurb of the book. Reception children will bring an appropriately matched phonics book home with them to read daily.

General reminders for parents

• The children will be doing PE everyday. 
• Please name everything!
• We love to take our learning outside whenever possible so please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for this.
• A spare change of clothes with your child’s name inside is always useful to have in school.
