Our Learning this week includes:
We are looking forward to welcoming the children into school for their first day on Tuesday 8th September, we hope that they are excited to be joining us in school! We have lots of fun activities planned for the week, with the overall aim of settling the children in, building comfort and confidence in school and making friends. We will also talk about the school routines and rules as well.
Some of the learning that we will cover includes, listening games in phonics and orally blending words, counting out people and actions in maths, talking about our families and drawing them, having a go at writing our names in rainbow pens and most importantly talking about our new classroom and what exciting things there is in it!

What the children say...
In our EYFS unit we plan according to the children's interests. We spend time talking to the children, asking them what they already know and what they would like to find out.
Our weekly themes are led by the children. Each week we share ideas and then pick a theme for the coming week.
Our PE days for both classes are:
- Tuesday
- Thursday
RE learning
In Religious Education, we will be learning about different celebrations and festivals which link to the heritage of some of the children.
