Friday 20 September 2024 Buddies! This week we assigned the new EYFS children a Buddy from our Year 6 class. The children spent some time together playing in the EYFS classroom and outdoor area and getting to know each other. The Year 6 children have been amazing at looking out for the EYFS children on the playground, giving them a friendly smile and even playing together. We look forward to seeing their relationships flourish over the year, we will be awarding our Buddy Cup at the end of each term to one special Buddy Duo.

Tuesday 17 September 2024 Food for Thought! This week in the EYFS we have been using food for some sensory play. We have made some herby playdough by adding rosemary, coriander and mint to some plain dough. This activity has been great at developing the children's fine motor skills, they have used scissors to cut the herbs and playdough tools such as rolling pins and cutters to shape their dough. We also took the food outdoors and had a 'Fruit Punch' making station in the water tray! We mixed water with orange squash and gave the children oranges and apples to explore. The children used kitchen equipment to cut, mash and juice the fruit which they then mixed/whisked with the squash. The children thoroughly enjoyed role playing making and serving fruit punch and were engaged in this activity for a long time!

Friday 13 September 2024 The First Week for the EYFS! What a fantastic first week at school it has been for our new EYFS children! We have begun teaching Phonics straight away and this week the children have learnt the sounds 's', 'a', 't' and 'p'! They have been very keen to begin mark making and have even had a go at writing some of the sounds.
