Welcome to Early Years
Welcome to EYFS
We warmly welcome you to our page for Red and Ruby class.
We look forward to an exciting year ahead of us full of learning and new experiences with the children. We will update this page regularly with key information, resources and photographs of exciting events for parents and carers to enjoy.
We feel very lucky to be supporting your child in their very first year of school and look forward to watching them grow and flourish.
Key information for parents:
PE: This half-term will be athletics. This will take place on a Monday morning. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit on this day. Long hair should be tied back and earrings removed.
Library: The children will visit the school library once a week. All children will be able to choose a book from the library to take home and share. Please do ensure this book is kept in your child's bookbag. Red class will visit the library on a Friday and Ruby class on Tuesday.
Reading books: When your child receives a reading book, please ensure that they read this with you daily as well as signing your child's reading record on a daily basis.
Homework: Please support your child to work at their own pace with the tasks on Math Seeds and Reading Eggs. Once your child is issued with a Read, Write, Inc book they should read this every day.
Tapestry: We will be sharing 'wow' moments with you via Tapestry and encourage parents to share those moments with us too! Please ensure that you have returned your child's permission form to school in order for us to allow your child's learning to feature on this platform.

We have read topic related stories and rhymes. In gymnastics we have been learning to balance and jump. We have continued to develop our reading and writing and in maths have learnt about number bonds to 10 and measurement. We are getting better at using the skills needed when using the Chromebooks.
