An Introduction to Tapestry for EYFS parents

 

Welcome to the Seahorses class.

We hope you have had a brilliant break. Please find below general information for the weeks ahead, we will keep you updated about specific dates and events throughout the term.  

This term we are excited to explore our topic ‘Fantastic Festivals’. The children will be learning about Autumn, Hanukkah, Diwali and Christmas. We will be reading and listening to stories about Binny’s Diwali and The Christmas Story. The children will begin blending sounds using the set one sounds that they have learnt during Read Write Inc (Phonics). The children will be learning about shapes, one more and one less and number bonds within 5. 

PE 

This term PE will be on a Friday, please make sure that your child comes to school in their PE kits. Your child will need to come to school in their PE kit: t-shirt and black shorts/ tracksuit. Please make sure all items of clothing are clearly named and that you check the earring guidance.  

Spare Clothes 

Please leave a named bag on your child’s peg with a spare pair of underwear, socks and trousers or skirt in. Some spare clothing will be available at school, but this is extremely limited. Please return any clothing borrowed from school as soon as possible.  

Homework 

Please remember to bring your child’s homework bags to school daily.  

Your child’s reading books will be changed on a Tuesday and Thursday, please sign and comment in their reading record to show that your child has read. New sounds will be added on to Tapestry as well as a phonics game to play together. They will also get to bring home a chosen book that your child has chosen to enjoy with you.  

Keeping warm 

As the weather turns colder your child needs to bring a named warm coat. They may want to have a hat, a scarf and some gloves, as the children will continue to learn in our outdoor classroom even when it’s very cold.
