Welcome to EYFS
EYFS is taught by Miss Connell and supported by Miss Edwards and Miss Tattersall.
Welcome to our Reception Class, where your child’s exciting educational journey begins.
Here is some key information which may help with the transition and provides further information about our weekly routines.
Physical Education:
PE will take place on Wednesday with Mrs Carter.
The children will need their full kit for all of their PE lessons. Any child who has pierced ears will either need to remove these or they will need to bring plasters into school.
Reading:
Children are expected to bring their book and reading record to school everyday. Reading diaries will be monitored weekly. It is expected that children are reading and/or sharing a book each day at home. It is important that reading records are kept up to date with a signature and page number. This will help staff to ensure books are changed regularly. Children will also select their own reading book (free reader book) from the school library which they want to share with an adult at home. Can you please encourage and support their love of reading.
Homework:
Homework will be given out on Friday and will be due to be handed in the following Monday.
Homework will be a small, fun activity linked to our topic work or something to bring in and share with the class. It’s designed to be enjoyable and help children talk about their learning at home.
