Early Years Foundation Stage

EYFS

Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is how the Government and early years professionals describe the time in your child’s life between birth and age 5. This is a very important stage as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes. From when your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs. Nurseries, pre-schools, reception classes and childminders registered to deliver the EYFS must follow a legal document called the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

Where the Adventure Begins!

Term 2 Topic

This term Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 (Infants) are learning about all things Autumn!  To kick off the topic the children have already been on a scavenger hunt around the school grounds.  They were challenged with finding objects and pictures of items all associated with Autumn.  These were clues as to what they are going to be learning about in the coming term. 

Poppies - Remembrance

Woodland animals - Which animals have been visiting our outdoor area? What do they like to eat? Which animals are 'nocturnal?'

Purple fabric - Wear purple to raise money for JIA

Diwali candles - the Hindu festival of light 

Stars - the Christian festival of Christmas
