Eaton - Reception EYFS 2024 - 2025
Miss Loren Rogers
Welcome to Eaton; the home of the Reception Class!
In EYFS, teacher led activities will be balanced with child initiated learning which will allow the staff to plan activities around ideas such as animals, pirates, fairies, plants, superheroes, dinosaurs and anything else that captures your child's imagination. The children access indoor and outdoor provision every day and can choose from a variety of activities that best suit them or interest them the most. We operate as an EYFS unit which consists of both our Pre-School and Reception children working together.
We had a great Autumn term exploring Autumnal changes, reading lots of favourite stories, going on a school trip to Imagine That!, having lots of fun getting ready for Christmas and Eaton having their first Christmas nativity at Church! This half term we are going to be focussing on Traditional Tales such as 'The Gingerbread Man', 'Jack and the Beanstalk', 'The Magic Porridge Pot' and 'Little Red Riding Hood'. Alongside Traditional Tales, we will be exploring Chinese New Year and Valentine's day! We have a busy half term ahead and we are looking forward to having lots of fun!
Eaton PE Sessions
This year PE will be on a Wednesday and a Thursday, please remember to wear your PE kit to school!
Eaton Outdoor learning Session
This year outdoor learning will be on a Tuesday. Please remember to bring your Forest School base layers to school and ensure you have wellies and waterproofs (labelled) in a bag. The weather is getting colder and we still aim to be outside as much as we can so please pack additional base layers, scarves, hats and gloves to keep your little ones warm!
Home Learning
The most important home learning activities for Reception children are i) to read their school reading books each night and ii) Practise using the phonics mat sent home to learn our sounds.
