We believe that every early year’s child is unique and has the right to learn through play.

We provide a rich and enabling environment, where children feel they belong, are understood, and are inspired to succeed.

We know that this requires skilful interactions by knowledgeable adults to build the foundations for life.

Summer 1 - Beech and Regent

Welcome back, we hope you had a fantastic half term break :) This term we will be celebrating: 

St Georges Day

We will be providing an experience for our children to watch the life cycle of Butterflies. We will be watching caterpillars grow, form their cocoon and hatch into butterflies. We will get to feed them and be able to release them once they are fully grown. 

There will be a 'Curriculum choice day' where the children will be able to choose a country to focus on and learn about for the day on Wednesday 24th April. 

Your child will continue to take home a reading for pleasure book each week and they will have a reading book. It is important to read these books at home to promote a love for reading and to practice their phonics skills. Each child has their own reading diary and if you write in here each time you read you child will get rewards! :) 

Our Drawing club focus for this term will be:

The Gingerbread Man 

The Runaway Chapatti 

Poddington Peas 

Cops and Robbers

The Wombles 

Welcome back from Ebury

The children have had a fantastic first week back and are very excited to continue their learning!

This half term we will be focusing on mass and capacity in maths. This is something you could do at home with your children too by getting them to guess which container would hold the most and then testing it out.

The book we are focusing on is 'Little Red Riding Hood' by Caperucita Roja. It is a great story and we will be doing some artwork and drama based around our story.

We are having our Curriculum Choice day on the 24th April, where Ebury will be joining Little Acorns to explore Italy. We will be making pizzas, threading pasta and so much more!

Brilliant Books 

Please see our 'Brilliant Books' poster below. This displays the books that are deemed the best books currently for this age group of children. 

We have all of these books displayed in our room and our children will have the opportunity to explore them in the environment and read them as part of our story time. 

Our Foundation Unit

Our staff have been working extremely hard to get the Foundation Unit ready for the children.  We can't wait to have them back, using all the resources in the classroom. In Foundation the children learn through play. This means that they may sometimes come home messy. This shows that they have been working hard and had enriching experiences throughout their day. Take a look at the pictures below to see how our classroom is set up.
