A message from our teacher
Thank you for looking at our Early Years Foundation Unit Class page. We are a mixed class of nursery and reception age children. Below, you will find any additional information you may need to help your child.
During their time in the Early Years Foundation Stage, your child will learn through lots of fun, practical activities that will help them to grow in confidence and support their development in all areas of the Early Years curriculum.
We look forward to teaching your child and to meeting all of our wonderful supportive parents.

EYFS Classroom Information
School Start and Finish Times
The doors open at school at 8.40am lessons begin at 8.45am. School finishes for nursery children at 11:45 and for Reception children at 3:15pm.
Reading Books & Library Books
Reading books are sent home every day and must be returned to school each morning. Please support your child with their reading at home daily. We will listen to children read in school too. We will also send library books home weekly. This is a book that you can share with your child to promote their love of reading.
Class Dojo
We use a communication tool with parents called Class Dojo. It is an app that you can download and keep up to date with school news and your child’s learning. We post pictures often of what has been happening in class. We will also post homework on here and ideas about how to support your child’s learning at home. This programme also allows your child to earn dojo points by demonstrating positive behaviour in school.

Lunch for Reception children is from 12.00 – 1.15. Lunch is currently free for children in Reception to Year two.

Unlocking Letters and Sounds is used when teaching the children. More information on phonics can be found here

The children will do PE on Thursdays. Please send your child in their PE kit for the day (Reception only).
