Early Years Team - Autumn Term 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Early Years, we have a fantastic term ahead of us! The children are already settling in so well and we have had a great first week exploring all of our learning areas and toys in both of the EYFS classrooms. We are ready to start learning our letters and sounds - our first sound will be 'm' and we will begin with making the sound and looking at pictures and objects beginning with 'm'. We will have a sound wall with pictures and a sound table with things beginning with 'm' to look at and to touch. By the end of each sound week, we will have a go at writing our sound on a whiteboard. Each week we will have a new sound, for some trickier sounds, we might focus on these for two weeks.
Each week we will also have a new number to focus on. We will start with number 'one' and we will use 'Number Blocks' to help us with our learning - you might have already met the 'Number Blocks' on Cbeebies - they are very helpful and make number learning lots of fun!
There will still be LOTS of playing, games and creative time happening also, so we will be very busy in Early Years and we can't wait to show you everything we will learn this term. Our Early Years Parent and Teacher meeting will take place on Wednesday 17th September at 3:30pm.
Sounds and numbers will be displayed on our parent board outside the Nursery classroom and homework will be based on these. Book bag is Friday, please make sure book bags are brought to school every Friday so new books can be given, alongside new homework and the collection of the current homework. A reading record is inside each book bag so that you can let us know how your child is enjoying reading at home, listening to you read and even having a try independently! 'Reading Eggs' logins can be found in home readers so that children and start phonics games at home too (please always supervise your child when they are using a device as online safety is extremely important).
