EYFS - September 2022

Dear Parents,

We have had a very busy few weeks and it is so lovely to see how well the children have settled in.  We have learnt our 5 school rules and are getting used to the routines of the day.

This term we will be reading 'The Rainbow Fish' and 'Stick Man' and we will be doing mini topics around these.

WE will be starting phase 3 Phonics where we will be learning the remaining single sounds and 14 digraphs (2 letters that make one sound).  A phase 3 pack with flashcards and words will be sent home with your child to help support them at home.  Please click here for a timetable which tells you the sounds and common exception words we learn each week.  Reading books will be changed on a Tuesday and children will bring home their reading book and also a sharing book each week.

In maths we will be looking at numbers to 5 in depth, looking at the composition of number and we will be looking at 1 more and 1 less.  We will be using our positional language to describe where toys are and we will be learning the days of the week and ordering a sequence of events.

WE will spend this term practising for our Nativity Tableaux which will be on Friday 9th December at 0930.  The children will show you the story of the Nativity accompanied by songs.  It will last about half an hour.  Wherever possible, costumes are provided by school.

Please remember to bring in a healthy snack and a water bottle as we have snack time every morning.  Fruit is provided for the afternoon session.  There is no set snack time in the afternoon - it is left out on a table and children are free to choose a piece of fruit if they want it.

Children will need a coat as we go out to play unless it is really awful weather!

Our PE day is on a Thursday morning.  Children come to school in their PE kit.  School jumpers can be worn if you don't have a PE hoodie.  Please make sure the PE hoodies are named as they all look the same when the children take them off.

Please remember to keep a set of spare clothes in school (it doesn't need to be uniform) so we can change them if we need to.  Some of the children love water play or splashing in puddles so they can get very wet at school!  If wet clothes get sent home, please remember to bring in a replacement the next day.

It is important to let us know if someone different is picking up your child.  We will NOT send home a child with someone different unless we have been told.  If you forget to let us know, please phone the office and they will get a message to us.

If you have any worries or would like to ask me anything, you can catch me at the gate in the morning or after school or you can email me at anna.wanless@christthekingprimary.co.uk
