What a Great time we are having in EYFS!

A message from Mrs Backler the EYFS Leader 

We are so glad we got to welcome you all back for one day this term to hear all about your Christmas celebrations!

Thank you to all our families who are engaging in remote learning with such enthusiasm and commitment to the tasks. Remember to check the EYFS remote learning page for the learning set each week and log in to view the activities set on Tapestry each day.

We understand how difficult it is if you are working and home schooling very young children so please make the learning fit around your families and remember it is vital the children have plenty of time to play independently which we love to see on Tapestry.

This term our topic is 'Everyday Heroes'. We are thinking about people who help us in our every day lives, they do not wear a cape or have superpowers they are heroes to us because they are always there to help.

We wish we could see you all every day but we will be back together as soon as we can.

In the meantime, watch out for a knock at the door in the next couple of weeks as we will be bringing you a present that you will be able to use in our Teams sessions. 

(We will drop the gift on the doorstep, knock the door and stand well back so we can have a safe, socially distanced chat when you answer the door!)

'Every day a learning adventure'

Our school motto is certainly celebrated in EYFS
