What an exciting and eventful week we've had in EYFS!

On Friday, we had a swashbuckling end to our learning journey on “A New Home for a Pirate”. The children had a fantastic time dressing up as pirates – our classroom was filled with eye patches, hats, and lots of “Ahoy, matey!” It was a wonderful way to celebrate all the brilliant learning we’ve done around this story.

In the afternoon, we continued the fun by learning all about the Island Games. The children explored different sports and activities from the islands – a great way to combine movement, culture, and curiosity!

Then on Monday, we arrived at school to quite a surprise – the classroom was covered in rubbish! This dramatic start launched us into our new learning journey, “Somebody Swallowed Stanley”. The children were immediately intrigued and keen to investigate. Throughout the week, we’ve been exploring how to care for our environment and the many different uses of plastic. The children showed such compassion and enthusiasm for making a difference – future eco-warriors in the making!

On Wednesday, we were thrilled to welcome the new starters from Furzehill once again. The children loved having them join us for play and learning. It’s such a joy to see our EYFS children showing kindness, patience, and leadership as they help the new starters prepare for their own exciting journey into school life.

Looking ahead to next week, we are full of excitement as we prepare for our transition day into Year 1! It's a big step, and we know our children will approach it with the same curiosity, confidence, and joy they’ve shown all year.
