What have EYFS been up to?
Week beginning 22.9.25
The children have been learning to subitise in maths this week. By subitising, we mean teaching the children to be able to visualise a number of objects instantly without counting them out one-by-one. There is more information here: Subitising | numeracy | early years - BBC Bitesize.
The children also got busy with some gardening and they enjoyed raking and digging the soil. The children managed to find lots of worms and a HUGE toad, as well as the carrots that were planted in the summer by last year's EYFS classes! They helped to put compost into pots for some plug plants which we will plant outside next spring. The children enjoyed smelling the lavender and the range of garden herbs.
Week beginning 15.9.25
This week, we have been reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. The children have been busy drawing, designing and building their own house. They have enjoyed building their houses using dominoes, large wooden blocks and classroom chairs too!
Week beginning 8.9.25
The children in RWT have been busy this week! As well as enjoying lots of fun activities, the children have also been forming friendships.
We started teaching Read Write Inc. this week. The children enjoyed the session so much that they wanted to write the sounds themselves on whiteboards.
Many children have been making the most of our art studio. They've been creating self portraits at the Creation Station and making faces at the Playdough Palace.
Children were enjoying learning in the outdoor area again this week. Some children collected pieces of nature to make faces.
Some children enjoyed making obstacles with the crates and planks, while others played with the balance bikes.
Week beginning 2.9.25
It has been a fantastic first week in EYFS! The children have all settled really well in to school life.
Lots of children have enjoyed the outdoor area of our classroom. We've had bikes and scooters out, also well as digging, drawing with chalks, building with blocks and using the music wall.
Inside, some children explored the art studio including watercolours and dabbers at our creation station, in addition to the chalk wall.
Other children liked the maths provocations in the classroom. We had matching cards to play with and Numicon shapes and pegs to explore. The children were introduced to the Numberblocks.
