Children should bring a water bottle to school every day. There are water dispensers in school to refill them if necessary.
All children will have a plastic zip wallet inside their bag to keep their home activities in. Please ensure this wallet stays inside the book bag. The zip wallet will also contain other activities for children to practise at home such as name writing and letter formation.
Reading regularly will develop a love of books and your child’s skills as a reader. We recommend reading at least three times each week.
Every child is given a piece of fruit and a carton of milk at snack time. Children are welcome to bring their own healthy snack as well. Examples of healthy snacks are fresh fruit/vegetables, dried fruit, breadsticks, cheese, yogurt, cereal bar. No chocolate or crisps please.
Class Themes and Topics:
In Foundation Stage, all learners experience a broad, balanced and varied curriculum, which is relevant to their stage of development. Thoughtfully planned, child-centered topics change from half term to half term, and are used as a vehicle to teach the whole EYFS curriculum. This year, our topics include:
Autumn 1- All About Me
Autumn 2- Celebrations
Spring 1- Fur, Feathers and Scales (Winter)
Spring 2- How Does Your Garden Grow?
Summer 1- Wild Things/People Who Help Us
Summer 2- The Seaside
Key texts we will focus on each half term:
Autumn 1: Goldilocks and the Three Bears/Little Red Riding Hood
Autumn 2: Hansel and Gretel/The Gingerbread Man
Spring 1: The Princess and the Frog/The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Spring 2: Jack and the Beanstalk/The Little Red Hen/Three Little Pigs
Summer 1: The Three Billy Goats Gruff/The Gruffalo/Supertato
Summer 2:The Rainbow Fish/What the Ladybird Heard at the Seaside/We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
