We are pleased that the children have settled so well into school life and are very excited to begin our second term at school!  The EYFS Prime Areas; Personal, Social and Emotional development, Physical development and Communication and Language remain the key context for our learning. We continue to assess the children’s sound knowledge and will soon be completing our first teaching cycle of Set 1 Sounds!  Visualization of numbers forms the basis of our maths focus.  We would like to invite you to an informal meeting to share the next steps in our phonic programme and show you ‘Early Essence’ our new secure online assessment tool that allows you to log in and view some of your child’s learning in class!  These are planned for Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th November at 2.45pm at school and a notice will be put up within our morning ‘settling in’ time for you to sign up for the time most convenient to you!

 

Our topic for the term is ‘Special Times’ and we have many of them ahead - we start with Guy Fawkes and the tradition of bonfire night and we are walking to our village church for a morning of activities with Year 1 children to understand the meaning of Remembrance Day.  As another special time draws near we will be expressing ourselves through music, dance and drama and will begin to learn the songs for our Nativity performance (these will uploaded to our class page on the school website as we learn them if you wish to sing along.
