We hope that you and your children are well, and we would like to welcome everyone back after the Easter break.
The children had a very busy Spring term, learning to be more independent, having new ideas and sharing them and working on their independent reading and writing. In summer term we will be looking more at our problem solving skills, independence and ensuring our skills are worked on.
For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview.
Thematic
We will continue with our thematic approach to learning through the Dimensions curriculum. This enables all children to make meaningful connections across the seven Areas of Learning within the EYFS framework and to consolidate their skills.
This term, our topics will be ‘What on Earth’ which has a focus on different things in the world. This will include learning about plants, animals, new and old things such as recycling and new life and ‘Under the Sea’ which has a main focus on oceans and what lives in the oceans but also how we can look after our oceans
PSHE, R.E. and Music will continue to be taught discreetly.
We will continue to develop communication, understanding, exploration, and design skills through a wide range of activities, including role-play, creative tasks, outdoor learning, and circle time. Throughout the year, children will be taught through a balance of teacher-led and child-initiated learning, both indoors and outdoors.
As outdoor learning is a large part of our curriculum, we ask that your child brings a suitable coat every day, regardless of the weather.
P.E
Your child will take part in PE weekly. They will be using their physical skills through running, jumping and other ways of moving. On PE days, please send your child into school wearing their PE kits with NO JEWELLERY.
PE days- Tuesdays and Thursdays
Wild Tribe
Your child will also take part in a weekly Wild Tribe session, where they will explore the outdoors through exciting woodland-based activities. On Wild Tribe days, please send your child in suitable clothing, this should include waterproofs and layers during colder weather.
Class 1- Tuesday
Class 2- Wednesday
Phonics and Reading
We will also continue to teach reading through our Floppy’s Phonics programme. Phonics remains an important part of our daily learning, and children will have multiple opportunities throughout the day to practise and apply their skills. As always, children are expected to read regularly at home; we recommend a minimum of 2–3 times per week. We kindly ask that reading packs are kept in children’s book bags every day.
Homework
Your child will be provided with homework weekly. This will be given out on a Friday. Please send back your child’s homework book by Wednesday each week ready for new homework on Friday
Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle to school each day. We ask that bottles are not made of metal, as they can be heavy. Water bottles should be filled with water only.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher, who will usually be available at the end of each day. We are looking forward to a busy and exciting term ahead, and we thank you in advance for your continued support.

Pancake Day
We have had the best ever pancake day at school! We all made pancake batter together, talking about different ingredients we were using. We made eggless pancakes which the children said tasted soooooo delicious! We poured our pancake batter into the pan onto the fire. We learnt how heat can cook and change food. The children then chose their own toppings and asked for more! The children were excellent at flipping the pancakes too!

Autumn Term
Nursery Rhyme Week
Children enjoyed singing all of our favourite Nursery Rhymes with each other and with schools within our trust. Lots of our language development comes from learning our nursery rhymes which makes it a very important part of our learning. ☺️
We all came to school with our odd socks on Monday to show we are all different in special ways. We did lots of learning about how we are all special and how to be kind to each other 😃
Remembrance
We held a two minute silence to pay our respects. We learnt all about the red poppy and why it is important.
We collected lots of red leaves and natural resources in Wild Tribe to make our own poppy wreath.
Bonfire Night
We have had a brilliant week of learning all about bonfire night 🔥
We had the best bonfire day, making our own fire, learning about fire safety, toasting apples, making editable sparklers and enjoying some hot chocolate with campfire songs ☕️🍏🔥🔥
Children in Need
We had a fabulous day raising money for children in need. The children thought of lots of different ways we could help children that are less fortunate. We danced, learnt sounds and decorated biscuits! 🟡🧸
