Our EYFS team manage a well organised and planned classroom, with a variety of high quality indoor and outdoor resources. We are lucky to enjoy a large outdoor patio area and dedicated field for our children, in addition to our whole-school dedicated outdoor learning area.

Our P.E. days are MONDAY and FRIDAY. Please send your child to school wearing their P.E. kit every Monday and Friday. Thank you.

Reading records are checked every FRIDAY. Please ask your child to read their phonics book to you at least 5 times each week. Record each time your child reads to you in their reading record, along with any comments.

Please check your Tapestry account regularly to stay up to date with your child's learning and to keep informed of their next steps across the curriculum.

This half term, our focus for learning is 'Once Upon A Time'. We will be exploring a range of traditional tales, including The Gingerbread Man, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood. We will be going on trips to the library and Pendennis Castle!
