Week beginning 28/04/2025

We have absolutely loved welcoming the children back after the half term break – it’s been so lovely to see all their smiling faces again! We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed some special time with family and friends.

This week, the children have been introduced to our exciting new topic: ‘People Who Help Us’. They’ve already been so enthusiastic, asking brilliant questions and sharing what they know. We’re looking forward to exploring this topic together and learning all about the different people in our community who help us every day.

Worship theme of the week:

LOVE 

“Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” 

Curriculum this week:  

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

• Phonics: We will be recapping the sounds we have learnt so far.

• Literacy: We will be exploring key vocabulary linked to our new topic. 

• Maths:  We will subitise doubles amounts shown on 10-frames.

• Topic: We will be looking at the Fire Service as part of our 'People who help us' topic. 

   

Word of the week:

Our Word of the Week for this week is 'responsibility'. Please explore the word's meaning at home with your child. 

Homework:

Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of this page. 

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:

• Bank holiday- Monday 5th May

Many thanks for all of your support,

Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
