This year, we have a wonderful, light,airy and engaging environment for the children to play, learn and explore in. We have lots of exciting new resources for the children to share and explore. Our continuous provision -the space where they use and explore independently, provides the children with endless opportunities to develop their skills in each of the seven areas of the EYFS. We have created lovely, calm areas to explore mark -making and our senses as well as purposeful zones to further develop specific skills.
All of the children will be learning to be increasingly independent in all areas of self-care. This will be from finding their own peg labels to self-registration. This term we are welcoming back some children from last year but also meeting lots of new friends who are joining us at pre-school. We will be using the story 'Elmer' to talk about how we are all unique and to help us find our place in the herd. We will also share 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' to talk about our families and who lives in our house and to help us develop our dramatic and role -play skills. Later in the term, we will share 'A Squash and A Squeeze' to help us introduce all things farm and harvest.
There will be a real focus on the children’s personal, social and emotional needs. We will spend time remembering our class rules and talk about why they are important. Lots of the activities are set up to encourage turn taking, independence and sharing as well as providing stimulation and challenge. The children will start choosing their key adults and adults will focus on building trusting relationships with each child. We very much look forward to sharing an exciting new school year together.
We work closely with our parents in partnership to support each and every child in all areas of their development, please do contact Mrs Bolt to discuss any concerns you may have. Please do keep an eye on class Dojo for learning, information and updates.
