WELCOME TO
EYFS
AT STAFFORD LEYS
WELCOME TO EYFS
We have lots of fun in EYFS through a topic and story based approach. There are three classes, our teachers this coming year are Mrs. Allison, Miss Khella and Mrs. Cotton & Mrs Hardy.
PE Days - please ensure your child brings their PE kit into school Monday to Friday. Our PE days are Tuesday, Thursday 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.
The children will be visiting the library at school soon. The library day for Class 1 and 2 is Friday and Class 3 is on a Wednesday. The children will have the ability to choose a book to share with you at home and then this needs to be returned to school in their book bag on the designated day above.

phonics
Thank you to those of you that attended our phonics meeting for parents. If anyone has any queries or questions please do not hesitate to ask your child's class teacher.
Click on here to get a copy of the notes from the meeting that will also be sent home.
Please find a video below which shows you the correct enunciation of the phonemes, digraphs and trigraphs that your child will learn when being taught phonics at Stafford Leys School. Accurate enunciation is paramount! Many difficulties experienced by children is due to the incorrect enunciation.

Your child will have taken home some phonemes to learn in their Passport of Sounds book. These will be added to every week, so please keep this safe in your child's book bag everyday and please ensure that it is returned to school every Wednesday. A new phoneme (letter sound) will be taught in class every day for four days of the week and will be sent home in the book, on a Thursday. Please do practise the four new phonemes and continually revisit the previous phonemes as we progress. When relevant, there will be an additional sheet with star words on for your child to learn to read (some by blending first and others by sight i.e. tricky words also known as common exception words), again these will be added to most weeks. If your child is already confident with these phonemes, please use the phonemes to either blend to read or segment to write simple words. Please use words linked to the phoneme of the day e.g., s- sun, sat, sip…
This week the children have learnt the phonemes ck, e, u and r. Below are the videos the children have watched to help them with these sounds.
Click here for a copy of the actions to accompany the sounds that we have learnt.
