Our EYFS team manage a well organised and planned classroom, with a variety of high quality indoor and outdoor resources. We are lucky to enjoy a large outdoor patio area and dedicated field for our children, in addition to our whole-school dedicated outdoor learning area.

Our P.E. days are MONDAY and FRIDAY. Please send your child to school wearing their P.E. kit every Monday and Friday. Thank you.

Reading records are checked every FRIDAY. Please ask your child to read their phonics book to you at least 5 times each week. Record each time your child reads to you in their reading record, along with any comments.

Please check your Tapestry account regularly to stay up to date with your child's learning and to keep informed of their next steps across the curriculum.

This half term, our focus for learning is 'Me and My Community'. We will be getting to know everyone in our new class, as well as learning about families and people in our community. We will learn about the emergency services and explore our local area too!
