EYFS

Week Beginning 20th March 2023

What a super science week! The children have got involved so much with everything that we have done this week. We have become engineers and designed our own projects. Next week, the children will be learning about Palm Sunday. It is our year group worship on Thursday so please come to the hall for 8.55am.

The bookfair is coming to school on Tuesday. Please come along to the church after school to visit the bookfair.

Twinkl Go

You now have access to Twinkl Go at home to help support your child’s learning. Each week we will be adding Phonics games and reading activities to supplement what we do at school. To access Twinkl Go, search for Twinkl Go on Google. Once on the website, enter the pin AP9265.

Reading Sketchbooks

Each week we will be sending home a class reading sketchbook to one child. We have filled out the first page about our favourite book and have shared a few things about what we loved about the book. When you receive the sketchbook, we would love for your child to share what they love about the book they have chosen. They could draw, write or add anything they wish to their page. We cannot wait to see what you love reading at home and why you love reading it.

Library

Every Thursday, is our library session. This week, the children have taken out their first library book. Please could ensure that this library book is in your child’s book bag each Thursday, so that they can change the book.

Reading

The link below shows the top 50 books for children in Reception. We will be looking at all of these books over the year and it is a great list for you to refer to when choosing picture books for your children at home. These books will be available at your local library too!

The Everywhere Bear

Today, the Everywhere Bear went home with a child from Ducklings and Tadpoles. The bear will live with you for a weekend and can go on adventures with your child. Please take photos and upload these to Tapestry for your child to share with the class the following week. Please bring the Everywhere Bear back to school on Monday.

Birthdays

We are happy for you to bring sweets or cakes for your child to give out at the end of the day. As a school, we are not able to hand them out but your child can wait at the door with you to hand out the treats. Please ensure that the treats do not contain any nuts.

Have a lovely weekend,

The EYFS Team
