WELCOME TO EYFS
We have lots of fun in EYFS through a topic based approach. There are three classes, our teachers this year are Mrs. Allison, Mrs Hollier, Miss Purkiss and Miss Parmar.
Our library day is on a Monday. The children will have the opportunity to select and bring home a book to share with you. These books are from the Central Lending Library. Please ensure your child brings their library book into school on a Monday.
PE Days - please ensure your child brings their PE kit into school Monday to Friday. Our PE days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday but we may do other additional sessions. Please can you make sure, if your child wears earrings, that they are taken out on PE days. Thanks.

Stonehurst farm
The children had a fantastic day at Stonehurst Farm. We played in the hay bales, looked at and learnt about the animals, went on a tractor ride and played on the playground. The sun shone and we had lots of fun.

number fun!
|
We are now learning about the number 4. The children have looked around them to see what they can find 4 of and also looked at groups of objects and decided if they represent 4 or not 4.
We have learnt the counting rules: 1. One number name for each object. 2. Remember to say the numbers in order. 3. Touch and move the objects when you count. 4. When counting from a larger group - stop at the number you need. 5. Remember that the last number you say is how many there are. The children have looked at squares and rectangles, cubes and cuboids. We have looked at the difference between squares and rectangles and looked at how a square can also be a diamond when moved into a different orientation. The children will also be investigating the different ways of making 4! Wow. |

We have learnt about the number 3. The children have watched the Numberblock episode about the number 3. We have looked at and compared quantities of objects and said whether they are three or not three and used the language of more and fewer. The children have also looked at triangles and a cylinder.
The children have also learnt about the number two. We found out how 'one and another one is two' and then we have explored the number two. The children have been discussing what is two and not two. They have also been introduced to the numeral 2. The children have also learnt about a semi-circle and how it has two sides and a cone, as it has two faces. We have also talked to the children about a 2p coin.
The children have learnt all about the number one. We have been finding one of different things, inside and outside the classroom. We have discussed what we have found that is one or not one and how we know. The children have also been introduced to the numeral 1 and Numberblock one.
