Summer 1 – Week 3- EYFS Weekly Update

PE
Base 1 balanced beanbags on different body parts and practised their sending and receiving skills. 

 

Forest School

The children made their own crowns to celebrate the King’s Coronation this Saturday. They added natural items found outside to card. We then held our own procession and the children enjoyed demonstrating their understanding of what takes place and role playing as the King!

 

RWI

Ways in which you can support your child are to:
Practise reading different individual sounds your child finds difficult –  sounds your child needs to learn have been given to you at parents evening.
Support your child to blend the sounds to read the word e.g. m-a-t = mat
When your child is confident reading aloud, encourage them to read in their head ‘Fred in their head’.

Please ensure your child’s reading book and reading diary stay in your child’s plastic folder which comes to school every day so your child can read with an adult in school. We aim to listen to your child at least once a week.

Books will only be updated when your child can confidently read the words fluently.

 

Maths
This week, we are learning to count on (numbers 1-20).

Challenge to complete at home:

Play a board game and count on the correct number of steps after rolling the dice.

You may wish to print this or if you do not have a printer or board games please come and speak to us so we can print one out for you.

EYFS Forest School/PE/Coronation Day

Please can children come to school in their trainers so they can still take part in PE and forest school (they can of course dress in red, white and blue to take part with the whole school). Can Base 2 please bring their wellies in a plastic bag just incase we need to change into them because of the weather as we intend to make crowns decorated with leaves!

Summer 1 – Week 2 – EYFS Weekly Update

PE
Base 2 practised travelling in different ways with beanbags. We jumped forwards, backwards and side to side. We then practised balancing beanbags on different parts of our body. 

 

Forest School

The children are continuing to expand their understanding of Spring, using a range of vocabulary, and enjoyed their Spring walk in the beautiful sunshine. We compared the differences between the walk we took 4 weeks ago and the walk we took today. The children were delighted to see much more growth and were able to tick many more signs of Spring on their tick sheet.
