Week Beginning 29th April 2024.

We have had a brilliant week in EYFS! This week, we have continued exploring our new topic, 'People who help us'. The children enjoyed a visit from the RNLI. We learned all about the important role the RNLI plays in keeping us safe. We also learned how to stay safe around open water. 

Worship theme of the week:

HOPE

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 

Curriculum this week:  

Please note that our curriculum overview for this term is at the bottom of the page.

• In English, we will be looking at information posters, and we will have a go at writing our own. 

• In Maths, we will be comparing quantities. We will explore the terms greater than, less than, and the same as. 

• In Phonics, we will be looking at 'ai', 'long oo', 'short oo', 'ar', and 'oi'. 

Word of the week:

Our word of the week for this week is 'Individual '. Please explore the words' meaning at home. 

Homework:

Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of this page. In addition to this, please continue to practise the word walls.

Reading:

We would love to see the children in EYFS using their extra time at home to read some brilliant books. If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket. Please, therefore, keep a quick record in reading logs – your children can write the title in to help! We would also like to encourage children to bring their reading records into school every day.

Coming up:

• Our Library and PE day is on a Wednesday. 
• Visit to Southbourne Libary- 7th May, 9th May, 14th May.

Many thanks for all of your support,

Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
