EYFS 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Foundation Stage!

Welcome to Summer 1 in EYFS! We have a jam packed half term with lots of wonderful learning planned. Our topic this half term is a classic, Growing! We can't wait to dive into the exciting world of growing through plants and minibeasts.  

In Reception, we will be now introduce teen numbers as we aim for getting children with mathematical reasoning up to 20 by the end of the year.  We will also continue to develop our phonic knowledge to support and extend early reading and writing, through our Growing Topic including key texts The Tiny Seed and Bloom. Reading books will be changed every MONDAY and THURSDAY. Please ensure the reading diary is signed, so books can be changed. PE will be every Tuesday with Salford Red Devils. 

In Nursery we will be continuing with Phase 1 phonics, developing our listening and attention skills and developing our segmenting and blending skills. In maths we will be focusing on measure, learning about capacity, weight and height/length. PE will be every Friday - please ensure that your child comes to school wearing a PE kit. 

Thank you as always for your continued support!
