September 2025 update

The children in EYFS have settled into school very well!

We have been having lots of fun making new friends and exploring our learning.

We have been looking at a story called 'Elmer'. We have been discussing how special Elmer is because of his differences and have shared something that makes us different and special.

We have worked as a team to create a large patchwork Elmer using lots of different colours and materials. Another one of our favourite activities this week has been colour-mixing. We have had a great time mixing colours to see which new ones we can create!

 

October 2025 update

In art, the children have been using different materials to make marks. We have used crayons, felt tip pens and chalk.
Recently, we have been focusing on observational drawing. We went outside to our garden and had a go at drawing the large tree! We focused on the structure of the tree and then looked at the details. We then selected our chosen materials to add colour to our drawings. We noticed that some of the leaves on the tree had
changed colours too! We saw brown, red, orange and yellow leaves.

 

November 2025 update

In EYFS, children have been enjoying the story Supertato! 
They used lots of exciting adjectives to describe Supertato and his super powers.
Everyone designed and created their very own superhero vegetable- showing great creativity and imagination!

 

December 2025 update

We have been getting ready for Christmas!
We read our new story 'Dear Santa' which the children really enjoyed. We then wrote our letters to Santa. The children worked very hard to use their phonic knowledge to help them to segment the sounds in words, before writing down the corresponding letters. We are very proud of our writing this week!

 

January 2026 update

In EYFS, children have been learning numbers 6–10 and exploring addition to 10 using part–whole models. They have enjoyed making two groups and finding the total through a range of practical activities.
Children have been using concrete resources, games, and number stories to support their learning, showing great enthusiasm and confidence. It has been lovely to see them problem-solving, talking about their thinking, and having fun with numbers along the way!

 

March 2026 update

Our EYFS children have been very excited to welcome some special visitors into the classroom – caterpillars! The children are eagerly watching them grow and change each day. As part of our learning, we have started making careful observational drawings and talking about what we notice. This has been a wonderful way to explore the life cycle of a caterpillar while developing our curiosity and understanding of the world around us. The children have been taking excellent care of our baby caterpillars and look forward to seeing them grow!
