News from EYFS

Welcome back to the Spring term!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. The children have settled back into school life this week and they have enjoyed telling us about their time off over Christmas. 

We are continuing with phonics and adding more diagraphs to our sound knowledge. It is really important that we get the chance to practise this at home with you! Please continue to read little and often. This builds children's confidence and feeds directly into writing. This can be the time of year where some children become a little frustrated if they have gaps in their phonic knowledge.

We have shown some fantastic number skills already this week. We are using our number knowledge to begin to problem solve.

We have lots of exciting learning to look forward to this term. We will read traditional tales this term. We have started with "The Three Little Pigs" and we will be looking at types of houses; including houses in the past. If you have any old shoe boxes or small parcel boxes can you please send them in with your child. We will be constructing our own small houses this term.

As we have lots of cold weather this term we are going to learn about scientific changes such as freezing and melting. We are learning about snowflakes too!

Forest School will continue as normal EVERY Monday afternoon. Please remember to wrap up warm and dress for the weather. We will still attend even when it is cold!

Remember to bring your library book in so you can change it when we visit on a Monday too.

As always, if you are unsure about anything or need to talk, we will always be happy to help if we can.

Thank you, EYFS team.
