Week beginning 6th October 2025

This week in EYFS, we explored the story Super Duper You and celebrated all the wonderful things that make us unique. We shared what makes us special, from our talents and personalities to our favourite things, and learned that our differences are what make us truly amazing!

We also embraced the weather and took our creativity outdoors with some power painting in the rain!

Worship theme of the week:

Teamwork

Curriculum this week:  

Literacy
This week in Literacy, we will be looking at writing CVC words. 

Mathematics

This week, the children will explore how numbers can be composed of 1s and, from this, begin to investigate the composition of 3 and 4. Composing and de-composing numbers involves children investigating part–whole relations, e.g. seeing that 3 can be composed of 1 and 2. The children will learn from practical experience that a ‘whole’ is made up of smaller parts and is, therefore, bigger than its parts.  

Phonics
We will be introducing the phonics sounds: g, o, c, and k. 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 why the word God is important to Christians. We will also start exploring self-portraits in art.

Word of the week:

Our Word of the Week for this week is 'sink'. 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! (EYFS children will receive these in the upcoming weeks) We would also like to encourage children to bring their reading records into school every day.

Coming up:

• Monday 13th October- School photos.
• Half-term 27th-31st October. 
• Monday 3rd November - Children return for the final half of Autumn Term
• 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
