EYFS 2018 – 2019

We are looking forward to Christmas in Reception and have been enjoying some Christmas themed activities.

Our lego challenge was to follow the design on the photograph carefully to create a Christmas picture.

In the Design Area we have been measuring tubes and cutting them 3 different…

Our Power of Reading book at the moment is from the Charlie and Lola collection.

I will not ever never eat a tomato by Lauren Child.

The children have really enjoyed exploring this book.

We began by looking closely at one of the pages in the book and tried to think of what the characters,…

What a super morning we have had today.  We were all super sensible when we walked down to the village Post Office.

We have really been enjoying our Squiggle whilst you Wiggle sessions.  Each morning we get 2 flappers and hold them in a pincer grip (our hands make a duck’s beak shape).  Then whilst the music is playing we make big and small movements with our arms and wrists to represent different letter…

We looked at what the numbers look like when written and what that number looks like in objects.

We explored the…
