Week beginning 24/03/2025

This week in EYFS, we had a wonderful time exploring our local area on a fun-filled walk and celebrating an exciting Aeroplane Day at school!

A big thank you to all the parents who joined us for the Parent Outcome event—it was wonderful to see you all and share the children’s achievements. Your support makes all the difference in their learning journey!

Worship theme of the week:

Love

Valentine’s Day 14th February.

Curriculum this week:  

Please note that our curriculum overview for this term is at the bottom of the page.

• Phonics: We will recap – oo, oo, ar, or 

• Literacy: Read many stories about bears throughout the week to introduce our new topic.

• Maths: We will investigate the ‘1 more/1 less’ pattern of the base-10 counting system.

• Topic: We will be looking at signs of winter.

   

Word of the week:

Our Word of the Week for this week is 'lumbering'. Please explore the word's meaning at home with your child. 

Homework:

Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of this page. 

Reading:

We would love to see the children in EYFS using their extra time at home to read some brilliant books. If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket. Please, therefore, keep a quick record in reading logs – your children can write the title in to help! We would also like to encourage children to bring their reading records into school every day.

Coming up:

• First day back after half-term- Monday 24th February 
• World Book Day- Thursday 6th March.

Many thanks for all of your support,

Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
