EYFS
Week beginning 16/06/2025
What a fantastic week we've had in Reception!
We were thrilled to welcome Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service into our classroom for a very special visit. The visit sparked so many brilliant conversations about keeping safe.
We embraced the great British weather and headed outdoors for some messy, colourful fun with powder paints in the rain! We explored colour mixing, splashing, and swirling the paints in puddles.
Worship theme of the week:
Relationship with Ourselves + Others
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Curriculum this week:

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

Literacy: We will be looking at the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Maths: Subitise ‘1 more’ amounts to 5 order towers to 10 – recognising the ‘1 more’ pattern of number.

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

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.
