Week beginning 03/03/2025

We’ve had such a brilliant week in EYFS! One of the highlights was definitely World Book Day – the children looked absolutely amazing in their costumes! From superheroes to dragons, princesses, and everything in between, it was so much fun seeing everyone’s outfits.

We had a great time reading stories, talking about our favourite characters, and doing book-themed activities.

Worship theme of the week:

New Life  

Happiness – International Day of Happiness  

Sunday 19th March - Start of Spring  

John 14:6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 

John 10:10  “I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.”

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:

• Class Worship- Thursday 20th March. 
• Parents Evening- 25-26th March. 

Many thanks for all of your support,

Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
