General Information
In our school we follow the EYFS curriculum. This emphasises the need for children to learn in an active way through play and practical activities, both inside and outdoors.
The 7 areas of learning within the Foundation Stage are:
- Communication and Language (CL)
- Physical Development (PD)
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
- Literacy (L)
- Mathematics (M)
- Expressive Art and Design (EAD)
- Understanding the World (UW)
These areas are covered by:
- a daily phonics session
- a daily maths session
- daily song and story time
- weekly topic activities
- weekly circle time
- creative activities
- forest school
- children have the chance to learn indoors and outdoors throughout the week

Reading
Once the children have been allocated a reading book and reading record we will endeavour to read 1:1 with your child once a week (in addition to daily whole-class reading).
P.E.
Our P.E. time will be on a Friday morning. Please ensure your child has a labelled indoor and outdoor P.E. kit in school, on this day.
We would love for you to be involved in our learning. We will update our class page regularly and share learning observations via Class Dojo. If you are having any problems accessing this app please speak to myself or a member of the admin team.
Happy Me!
We can't wait to start the new term and get to know everybody. This half-term we will be learning rules and routines and all about our families and what makes us happy.
