Welcome to our EYFS class page
We are happy members of the school, always supporting each other and trying our best to be kind and responsible! We love learning and we hope you enjoy looking at all of the wonderful things we do in reception.

News from EYFS
Welcome back!
We hope you all had a great halt term and the children had a well deserved break after a fantastic start to their time at Badsey.
We have lots of exciting learning to look forward to this term. We are starting off the new term with the story 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?' We will be sharing a number of stories over the next half term, ending with Christmas stories, songs and rhymes.
We have a couple of trips lined up to get us in the festive mood, so keep your eyes peeled for more details!
Forest School will take place on a Monday and you will need to send your child into school in jogging bottoms/leggings and their school jumper. Please remember to send them to school with clothes appropriate for the weather conditions-gloves and hats are definitely needed with the colder weather.
PE will take place on Wednesday and you will need to send your child to school in their PE kit.
We will continue to visit the library on Monday and your child will be able to choose a library book to share with you at home. This is to encourage the love of reading at home and any conversations around a good story. This book is different to the phonics book they will shortly be bringing home.
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.
NEWS FLASH
Reading is hugely important in reception and we really encourage you to read little and often with your child. If they are too tired or you are pushed for time, have you thought about using flashcards to practise sounds?

The Curriculum
The EYFS recognises that children need to be able to use concrete experiences to provide the building blocks for their learning. Based on this, the learning ethos behind EYFS encourages a mix of play-based and adult led learning.
Here are some documents you might find useful to have a look at to help your understanding of the EYFS curriculum and how best to support your child in their first year at Badsey First School.
