EYFS Curriculum Overview
EYFS Early Learning Goals (ELGs)
MADD (Music, Art, Dance & Drama) Week
This term, we learnt about the artist Mackenzie Thorpe. We shared our learning with the rest of the school during our MADD week presentation. We also recreated one of his pieces for our calendars. We learnt about Christmas carols and sang Away in a Manger in the show. Please have a look at the slides below to see all the fun we had!
Nativity
We really enjoyed performing our Nativity play. The children worked so hard to remember all the songs, actions and words. They were amazing!
Wildwood Days
Wildwood Days Forest School came to visit us. We enjoyed toasting marshmallows, making clay faces, sawing and decorating wood pieces, identifying leaves, using natural materials in 3d art activities and much more!

EYFS Spring
Winter Walk to Victoria Park
We walked to Victoria Park to see what is happening in the world around us during winter. We compared it to what we saw in autumn. We noticed that lots of the trees are now bare and the leaves on the ground are soft and soggy. The children noticed the nests in the trees and explained that these are the habitats for the birds. The trees are also habitats for the squirrels. They came to say hello before climbing up the trees! The children also explained that we wouldn't see any hedgehogs as most of them hibernate during the winter months.
Sneezy the Snowman
This half term, we have learnt lots about freezing and melting.
The story Sneezy the Snowman helped us to think more about melting. We loved it so much that we learnt to retell it in our own words. We hope you like it too!
People Who Help Us in Our Local Area
We have been learning about the jobs that people do in our local area. We have also been thinking about jobs that we could do when we grow up. We have big ambitions - everything from scientists, vets and hairdressers, to astronauts, mechanics and firefighters!
A firefighter came to visit us and we thought of lots of questions to ask him about his work. He brought his firefighter kit to show us and we tried on his helmet. It was quite heavy!
