Thank you!

What an incredible year we’ve had in EYFS! A huge thank you to all the parents for your ongoing support — it has truly made a difference.

We’ve had so much fun learning and growing together!

Wishing you all a fantastic summer, and we can’t wait to welcome the children back as confident Year 1's next term!

We will update the Worship theme of the week when we return in September. 

Curriculum this week:  

We will update this when the 2025-2026 EYFS cohort join us full-time. 

Word of the week:

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

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:

• 3rd-5th September: Inset days
• Monday 8th September: Year 1-6 back in school. EYFS home visits take place. 
• Group A- Monday 15th September 8:30am – 12:00pm
