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 2 - Beech and Regent

Welcome back, we hope you had a fantastic half term holiday and are ready to continue with our learning for this term! Please scroll down the page to find out all the exciting things we have coming up! 

This term we will be:

• celebrating Eid,
• making father's day cards, and 
• visiting White Post Farm.

Our Drawing club focus for this term will be:

• The Little Red Hen
• Bananaman meets Doctor Gloom
• Billy Goat's Gruff
• What the ladybird heard
• Supertato, and
• Mr Ben Zookeeper.

We will be developing our confidence to write full sentences as well as:

• name writing - please practice at home by using the name cards provided in their starter packs.
• independence skills - please encourage the children to zip up their own coats and put on their shoes and socks by themselves.

We celebrate reading within our school and each child takes home both a reading book and a reading for pleasure book. It is important to read these books at home to promote both a love for reading and to practice their phonics skills. The reading for pleasure book is a story for you to enjoy together, not for the children to try and read. Each child has their own reading diary and if you write in here each time you read you child will get rewards! :) 

Red Ted awards:

10 reads = reading certificate 

25 reads = a red ted bear 

40 reads = bookmark

50 reads = accessory 

75 reads = accessory

100 reads = book 

125 reads = red ted picnic

Thank you for your support with your children's learning!

Summer 2 - Ebury

Welcome back!

We hope you have had a lovely half term holidays and are relaxed and ready for more interesting and awesome learning here in Ebury class! We have some exciting stories this half-term such as,

• Rosie's Walk
• We're Going on a Bear Hunt
• The Three Billy Goats Gruff
• The Gruffalo
• Shark in the Park

In phonics are we now moving on to learning digraph sounds - qu, ch, ck, sh, th, nk, ng and we are also continuing to learn how to hear initial sounds and are now starting to blend CVC words independently ready for F2.

In math we are going to be moving onto looking at number composition for 3, 4 and 5, recognising and naming different 2D/3D shapes and learning what comes before and after a given number.

We are very much looking forward to another half-term of learning and growing together!

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 are working extremely hard to develop the children's learning in our Foundation Unit, 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.
