Welcome to Acorn Class

 Early Years Foundation Stage 

Class Teacher: Miss Probyn

LSA: Mrs Kaminska 

We are a playful, explorative and happy class.

Our Code of Conduct

*We share with others

* We use kind hands, feet and words

* We use kind, friendly voices 

* We sit nicely on the carpet

*We tidy up our classroom and look after all our equipment

* We use our listening ears and looking eyes

Daily checklist: 

• Correct uniform
• Book bag with reading book and reading record
• Weather appropriate coat 
• Water bottle 
• Wellington boots if rainy or snowy (so that children can access all of the garden)
• Check Tapestry for updates :-) 

If you would like to discuss how your child is doing at school or to ask a classroom specific question (eg a lost jumper etc...) please feel free to email Miss Probyn using the class email address: acorn@connectedlearningmat.co.uk

Don't forget you can also use Tapestry as a way to communicate with the EYFS team. 

If your query relates to something other than classroom matters, for example: dinners, payments, events, please continue to contact the office via telephone or the admin email address, thank you.

Phonics

The children will be taught how to recognise, read and write lots of different sounds this year. We use a Government Validated Scheme called the 'Song of Sounds'. The children love learning all of the actions and singing the song... why not ask them to sing it for you- click on the PowerPoint link for the music and pictures to help. 

Spellings

This year the children will be taught how to read and spell these words: 

There are lots of great ways to practice reading and writing them, why not try…?

• Have a word hunt around the house
• Play word pairs or snap
• Practice writing them in sand, glitter, shaving foam
• Look for them in the environment
• Letters on milk bottle lids and putting them in order to spell
• Writing them with chalk on the pavement
• Making them with playdough

Happy reading 📖

In our math's lessons we are continuously building upon our current skills and fostering new ones, which we then apply through fun and practical experiences.

To help practice Maths skills at home please watch Numberblocks and log in to play Numbots. 

Next Term's Learning:

In the Animal Safari topic, your child will look at lots of different animals, explore their differences and similarities. Your children will also learn about a variety of animals around the world, how to look after animals and the importance of looking after our local and global environment.  

Supporting your child at home

• Talk about different animals and their features. 
• Discuss how to properly look after animals and identify the care they need. 
• Talk about where animals live, for example where are they from what does their habitat look like etc. 
• Share and discuss the resource did-you-know (2).pdf
