Week Beginning 16th November 2026

The children have had a great week, finishing the week on a mufti day to help support Children in Need. We have loved seeing the children all dressed up in spots and have raised a great amount of money!

We have now began our new project 'Woodland Wonder'. The link for the project and home learning is below. Please have a look at Tapestry, as there are several information posts for various events happening this term, including our Parent Phonics Workshop and our Christmas Craft Event.

This week, we had our Remembrance Service on the 11th November and the children did brilliantly. We spoke to the children in a child-friendly way about sacrifice and how we can remember the people we have lost.

Just a couple of reminders below:

- Parents evening on the 17th and 18th November. Please book your slot if you haven't already done so. We look forward to seeing you all.

- This term the children will be taking part in forest school and each session will take place on a Wednesday. Tadpoles had their first forest school session this Wednesday and they absolutely loved it! The next two dates for Tadpoles are:

Wednesday 18th November

Wednesday 25th November

Ducklings:

Below is our Parent Information Video. Please have a watch to find out further information about the EYFS Curriculum this year. 

Curriculum Information

In English this week, the children have started learning the story of 'The Gruffalo' and created actions for the story. We have also worked on our writing skills and how to describe a cat, which will help us next week when describing 'The Gruffalo'. We will also be creating a story map.

In phonics, we will be learning the sounds z, qu and ch.

In Maths, we will be continuing to learn numbers up to 5. The children will work practically to find the various ways to make numbers up to 5.

Worship Theme

The worship theme next week is 'Let the little children come to me'.

We hope that you have a great weekend!
