EYFS Important Information
On this page you will find important information about EYFS. Please don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher if you have any questions.
Welcome!
We would like to wish you all a very warm welcome to our school. It has been lovely to meet many of you this week and to get to know your children. They have had a wonderful first week in EYFS.
Fitness Friday
In EYFS, we have Fitness Friday. The children should wear their P.E kit and trainers to school and will wear them for the duration of the day.
Outdoor Learning
Children need a waterproof outfit (such as a puddle suit) that they can wear over their school uniform, as well as a pair of wellies. These can be named and left in school.

Outdoor Learning
As part of the EYFS curriculum we explore the natural areas around school creating various forest arts and developing our knowledge and understanding of the world. Children need to bring a waterproof outfit that they can wear over their school uniform and a pair of wellies. These need to be named and left in school.
Fitness Friday
In EYFS, we have Fitness Friday. The children are expected to wear their P.E kit and trainers to school and wear them for the duration of the day.
Break time
All children in EYFS are given a piece of fruit as a snack during the day so there is no need for parents to provide a snack.
As the weather gets colder please make sure that children bring a coat to wear at breaktime as all children are expected to be outside.

Reading at home
We thought it might be a good idea to remind you of how to help your child with reading at home. We ask you support your child by reading at home at least 4 times a week and record it in their reading diary. This doesn't have to be a chore - all reading is good reading! In addition to the Read Write Inc. ditties/books we send home each week, children can read their favourite story books from home, comics, magazines or information books. We have a lovely selection of books in our classroom, as well as in the school library. Thank you for your continued support.
Water bottles
Please ensure your child has a drinks bottle in school every day filled with water.
Phonics Videos
Take a look at the EYFS homework page for Read Write Inc. phonics video clips. There are new videos which can be shared to help with phonics.
Socks and tights
EYFS would also welcome any donations of socks and tights that we could offer to children to borrow and return if theirs get wet while they are at school.
