EYFS
Week beginning 10th November 2025
We’ve loved welcoming Tadpoles and Ducklings back after the half-term break and hearing all about their wonderful adventures! It’s been lovely to see so many happy faces.
This week, we’ve been practising our throwing and catching skills in PE. We’ve also enjoyed spending time with our buddies, sharing stories and playing together.
Worship theme of the week:
Sunday 9th November – Remembrance Sunday
Sacrifice
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Curriculum this week:
Literacy
This week in Literacy, we will be introducing the story The Gruffalo.
Mathematics
In maths, children will be looking at equal amounts.
Phonics
We will be introducing the phonics sounds: j, v, w, and x. Children will begin to identify these sounds and use them in early reading and writing activities.
Wider Curriculum
As part of our wider curriculum, we will be exploring remembrance day by creating poppy-themed art.
Word of the week:
Our Word of the Week for this week is 'past'. Please explore the word's meaning at home with your child.
Homework:
Please see below for our homework.
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:
- Saturday 8th November - School Open Morning 10am -12pm
- Tuesday 18th November - School Nurse Drop-in Session - from 8:45am in church annexe (book with office)
Many thanks for all of your support,
Miss Daw & Miss Wingate
