Early Years Foundation Stage
Welcome to Early Years!
Welcome to all of our new and returning children, parents and carers. Starting Early years is an exciting time, your child will learn lots of new things and acquire new skills. We are really looking forward to the year ahead!
The children have joined in a workshop led by the Kickstart Outreach Workers. The children explored colours through creative activities with their parents.
Today in Early years we helped to decorate the big Christmas tree in the school hall. Just before home time the whole school came together in the hall to see the tree lights switched on.
The children in Nursery have been shape stamping with paints. They have been naming the different shapes they are using and naming the colours.
The children in Reception went on a journey around our school. We found beautiful stones in the Peace Garden
In Reception We have learnt about farm animals. We worked together to make a farm for our toy animals. We sorted the animals into sets and made pens to keep them safe.
Over the past few weeks, the children have been reading various bear stories. We have read ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see?’, ‘Polar Bear, Polar Bear what do you hear?’, ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ and ‘Whatever next’ We have enjoyed looking and learning about the bears. Today, the children have painted their own bears.
We collected autumn treasures on our autumn walk and made journey sticks. The story sticks helped us to talk about our journey.
In Understanding the World we learnt about living and non-living things. We thought about which things could move, grow, eat and drink.
We have collected leaves, twigs and seeds whilst on our autumn walk to use in our creative area.
Phonics Workshop!
The reception parents and carers were invited into school for the afternoon to get involved with the ‘phonics workshop’. They were given an insight into how they can support children at home with their phonics and how it is taught at school. The children and their grownups were then able to learn through play together and explore a variety of areas within our early years setting.
Welcome to all of our new and returning children, parents and carers. Starting Early years is an exciting time, your child will learn lots of new things and acquire new skills. We are really looking forward to the year ahead.
The children have settled well in the first week back! They have all enjoyed making new friends and exploring the new resources!
