EYFS

Week beginning 30/06/2025

We’ve had such a wonderful week in EYFS.

One of the highlights was meeting our new Year 1 teachers. The children were so excited to see their new classrooms and get to know the grown-ups who will be with them next year.

We also had an amazing time at the school disco! The children showed off some fantastic moves and had so much fun celebrating together.

The butterflies in Tadpoles class have finally come out of their cocoons! We’ve loved watching the transformation from tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies.

Worship theme of the week:

Relationship With “Beyond”

Curriculum this week:

Phonics: We will be recapping the sounds we have learnt so far.
Literacy: We will be looking at the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Maths: We will find ways to partition (split) a set of 5 and understand that 5 can be partitioned in different ways.

Word of the week:

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:

Thursday 3rd July- Longdown Dairy Farm trip
Tuesday 8th July- Whole School Photo
Tuesday 22nd July- Last day at school

Many thanks for all of your support,

Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
