EYFS Manager 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 June 2022 our Early Years Quality Mark was renewed. Our EYFS team, staff, children and parents are delighted to have this award for our school. This reflects the fantastic Early Years setting we really do have.
New Beginnings
Welcome to all of our new Nursery children and parents. A new year and a great new start for all of our children. Here in Nursery we understand how difficult the first half-term can be not only for our children, but also our parents too. Please be assured our team are always available and are highly trained to ensure the children settle as quickly as possible. Children manage change in different ways and it can be emotional for them but we can guarantee that after a few weeks your child we be very happy and settled - please do be patient with us!
What's Going on in Autumn 1?
Our main priority for Autumn 1 is that our children are happy, settled and enjoy school life. We spend a lot of time training the children; this includes encouraging them to become independent through tidying up, managing toileting needs, washing hands, self-care and doing many things for themselves. Your child will be allocated a family group with friends and they will either be a Brilliant Butterfly or a Busy Bee. Children meet in these groups each morning to begin their learning.
What can you do at home?
Our first topic is 'Amazing Me' - We will talk about ourselves, our families, our friends and our bodies.
In Literacy - We will focus on name writing and letter sounds. We will begin to share Traditional Tales and do lots of activities based around them.
In Mathematics - We will focus on number recognition, counting and shapes.

Daily Routine
Your child will also access indoor and outdoor learning daily.... Please ensure your child has the appropriate clothing for outdoor weather, and that a coat and a pair of wellies are available at all times. 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 Phonics, Literacy and Mathematics here at Brickhouse whilst covering all other areas of EYFS learning too… we will work closely with Reception to ensure that we can meet all our children's needs. During this half-term, your child will experience daily carpet sessions for Phonics, Literacy, and Mathematics.
Reminders
Attendance
Learning in our school is so important every day-so please ensure your child is in school on time each day to learn and progress.
Do you have any ideas for this page? Why not let Mrs Oliver know!
We do hope your child enjoys their time in Nursery......If you have any questions or concerns at all, then please see Mrs Oliver or our EYFS Manager – Mr White.
We thank you for your support!
Many thanks
The EYFS Team
