Welcome to EYFS and Year 1 Class

Mrs Snowden (Class Teacher) and Mrs Webb (Class Teaching Assistant) are happy to be your teachers and we are going to have such an exciting year at school.

Please come and speak to us if you have any questions or queries; we are always happy to help. 

Your child will bring home a reading folder with a reading record book, a library book (for you to read to your child) and a decodable book (for your child to read to / with you).  Please write a short comment in this book every time you read so we know how your child is getting on and engaging with reading at home.  Aim for 5 reads weekly.  We will change books every Friday; a decodable reading book and a library book for you to share with your child.

Term 2 

Our topic will be 'Celebrations (EYFS focus) and 'What is it like here?' (Year 1 Geography focus). See the relevant year group curriculum overviews for detailed information. In science, children will be learning about the four seasons, focusing on Autumn and Winter.

This term Year 1 will continue to learn to read and spell Phase 3 and 4 words (e.g. frog, string, boat) and learn Phase 2, 3 and 4 tricky words. They will continue to learn some Phase 5 sounds and tricky words. EYFS children will continue to learn sounds in Phase 2 and some tricky words in Phase 2.  We follow the Little Wandle Phonics Programme.  You can purchase your own home sets of Little Wandle phonics cards for reception and year 1- available on Amazon.

Please look at the curriculum information (Term 2) below for more details of all the wonderful learning we will be enjoying.

PE:  

This term (Term 2) PE will be on Tuesdays and Fridays. Children WILL need to wear PE kit to school on these days. 

NOTE: Children can bring in their own wellie boots (named) to keep in school - which we use for busy time outside.  However, we do have a good stock of Wellie boots if you can not provide a pair to remain in school.  Boots from home MUST be named.

PE kit:

• Plain black / navy joggers and a plain black / navy sweatshirt or ‘hoodie’ or a normal blue school jumper.
• Plain black / navy shorts (not for Forest School), plain white t-shirt or white t-shirt with school logo.
• Daps or Trainers.

  Please do not wear different colours or clothes with other logos.
