EYFS

Week Beginning 7th October 2024.

What an amazing week we've had in EYFS. On Monday we had a letter arrive, which gave us some clues to help us find some Elmer storybooks! We had fun following the map to find them. It was so great to see all the children dressed up for the Harvest Festival on Thursday. They all looked brilliant!

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:

Fraser portraits – Monday 14th October, all children have individual picture taken
Elmer Party- Friday 18th October. You can wear something colourful to school! .
Last day of term- 25th October
Half term- 28th October- 1st November.

Science Award Ceremony...VOTE VOTE VOTE

Last year, we had a number of winners in the National Science Competition ‘If you were an engineer what would you do?’ Well… Emily Jackson (now in year 4), who won the previous year and had her prototype for the ‘seed drone’ made up by the engineers at Southampton university, has been nominated for the prestigious MacRobert award in Glasgow! We are so proud of her and her wonderful achievements. You can vote for Emily’s prototype on the link below. Emily’s is the last one, under Southampton University. https://www.primaryengineer.com/primary-engineer-macrobert-medal-public-vote/
