With.....Mr R.White Nursery Class Teacher
EYFS Manager & Assistant Headteacher Message
Here in EYFS at Brickhouse we work very hard to achieve only the highest standards for each child. We believe each child is unique and we believe children achieve best when they have an all rounded balanced curriculum-both indoors and outdoors and when parents and staff work closely together. Should you have any unanswered questions about the running of EYFS please do come and see me...
Quality Mark Award
In November 2015 our Early Years Unit was awarded the Quality Mark for the first time. Our Assistant Head, EYFS team, staff, children and parents are delighted to announce that our Quality Mark Award was renewed in December 2018.
What's Going on in Summer 2?
Welcome back, we are extremely sad that this is our final half term with the children in Nursery before the Summer holidays. We are working hard to get the children ready for school in Reception in September. We will be sending out more information regarding our Transition week into
Reception and information on Seaside Day shortly.
Please speak to a member of Nursery staff if you require any further information.
We will continue to look at
Growing topic. during We will be looking at The Hungry Caterpillar story and The Little Red Hen story. We will then move onto Seaside as we prepare for our Seaside Day in July. We will also be looking at Healthy Eating this half term. We would love to see any work they choose to do at home. Our school website will inform you about our new topics and always look in our cloakroom area too.
In Literacy we will continue to focus on name writing and letter sounds. We will share "The Little Red Hen" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" stories and do activities based around them.
In Mathematics we will continue to focus on number recognition, counting and shapes.
What can you do at home?
Ask your child to identify and attempt to write their names.
Practise holding a pencil and using it correctly.
Count numbers out loud
Using the phonics sounds they know to attempt to read simple words eg cat, hat, man etc
Daily Routine
Your child will also access indoor and outdoor learning daily....please ensure your child has the appropriate clothing for outdoor weather and a pair of wellies available at all times. Once a day children will be able to free-flow across EYFS and access both the Nursery and Reception; as we work closely together and cover the same topics.
We focus heavily on Salley/Phonics, Literacy and Mathematics here at Brickhouse and we do this through covering all other areas of learning too.....this year we will be working closely with Reception to ensure that we can meet all our children's needs even more closely.
During this half-term, every day your child will experience daily carpet time sessions for Salley/Phonics, Literacy, and Mathematics, Number Fun and Name Writing.
Sharing stories is important! Please share stories at home with your child as often as you can...
