EYFS

Welcome to EYFS!

Remote Learning in EYFS

During the current ‘Lockdown’ where many of our children are working from home, Tapestry is the platform we will use for most work. Each day there will be a set of learning tasks to complete:

  • Phonics
  • Maths
  • Activities based on our topic (Currently Dinosaurs)

These will be uploaded daily as an observation and may include a video to watch, photo to view, website link to follow, document attachment or a written task. Children’s responses and learning is to be uploaded to Tapestry and will be checked daily by the EYFS Team.

We have two classes in EYFS: Acorns and Conkers.

You can meet our teachers to the right.

In EYFS we love to learn through play, get creative, try out new ideas and explore the outdoors.

To help us learn to read and write we use Anima Phonics, a multi-sensory method, teaching children actions and poems for each of the 44 letter sounds. You can also access Anima Phonics from home. https://www.animaphonics.com/

Every Friday we post a video to Twitter to share which sounds or words we’ve been learning that week and also fun games and activities that you can try out at home.

We also post regular pictures on our school Twitter account, why not take a look for #eyfsuhps to share in our learning adventures.

Top tips for EYFS

Reading: Please ensure that your child brings their book bag into school with them every day containing their reading record and reading book. Please use the learning log to help you support your child at home.

Water and snack: We encourage you to send a named water bottle in daily so that your child can stay hydrated throughout the day. We also have a variety of different fruits available every day for snack, however if you would like to send your child in with a piece of their favourite fruit please do so. Milk is available every morning for all children.

PE: This half term PE will take place every Friday. Please send your child into school ready dressed in their PE kit which they can wear all day. As the weather gets colder tracksuit bottoms and a jacket may be appropriate.

We use Tapestry to communicate important messages so please check your accounts regularly. https://tapestryjournal.com/

Please see our ‘Knowledge Organiser’ attached which shares our learning for this half term – Dinosaurs!

Thank you from all of the EYFS Team
