Week Beginning 6th May 2024.

We have had a great week in EYFS! This week, we have created information posters about 'people who help us'. On Friday, we enjoyed making odd and even monsters, which were linked to our maths learning for the week. We also learned the importance of keeping our hands clean. 

Worship theme of the week:

Forgiveness 

Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." 

Matthew 18: 21-22 "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'" 

Curriculum this week:  

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

• In English, we will be continuing to look at information posters, and we will have a go at writing our own. 

• In Maths, we will be looking at subtraction and how to subtract amounts. 

• In Phonics, we will be looking at 'qu', 'ch', 'sh' and 'ng'. 

Word of the week:

Our word of the week for this week is 'inviting'. Please explore the words' meaning at home. 

Homework:

Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of this page. In addition to this, please continue to practise the word walls.

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:

• Our Library and PE day is on a Wednesday. 
• Visit to Southbourne Library- 7th May, 9th May, 14th May.

Many thanks for all of your support,

Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
