EYFS
Week beginning 8th June2026
It has been wonderful to welcome our EYFS children back after the half-term break and hear all about their adventures and experiences.
This week, we have jumped straight into our exciting new topic, Brilliant Bugs and Beasts. The children have loved exploring the world of minibeasts and have enjoyed using the interactive whiteboard to draw and create their very own minibeast pictures. We are looking forward to discovering and learning even more about these fascinating creatures over the coming weeks!
Worship theme of the week:
Spirituality – what it it?
Curriculum this week:
Literacy
This week in Literacy, we will be learning all about the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Mathematics
In maths, the children will be introduced to rekenreks.
Phonics
We will be recapping the digraphs.
Wider Curriculum
As part of our wider curriculum, we will be looking at the life cycle of frog.
Word of the week:
Our Word of the Week for this week is 'microhabitat'. 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:
- Friday 19th June 2026 - Sports Day at King’s Park Stadium
- Saturday 27th June - St. James’ Summer Fayre
- Thursday 2nd July- Longdown Activity farm trip
Many thanks for all of your support,
Miss Wingate & Mrs Ford
