Information for Parents

Dear Parents/Carers
Please click on the "Home Learning" below to find an overview of activities set for Home Learning. The aim of these documents are to support your child with their learning at home.

Nursery and Reception have only just started to adjust to new routines and learning patterns. The concentration levels of the children are short, this is reflected in the length of the activities suggested. Please remember-play is an important part of developing language skills too, if you do nothing but play together, bake together, read together and talk together, you are still doing wonderful things!

Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage Under the new model, learning and development are divided into 7 areas. This document will give you a good understanding of how we assess your children against these 7 areas of learning.

Oxford Owl “From your parents, you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened, you discover you have wings.” – Helen Hayes. “It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations. Something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.” – Katherine Patterson. “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” – Harry S. Truman These are just a few excellent reasons to keep reading with your children everyday. Below is a link that will open up to a world of free ebooks that you can share with your children. You need to log in but it is a free resource. I hope this is helpful. Happy Reading!

EYFS at Home I have found a wonderful reading resource for you to share with your children. It is "EYFS at Home." It features lots of amazing children's authors, including Jude Lennon who has visited our school to work with the children on a number of occasions. There are a number of fun activities for you to do throughout the day, all you need to do is sit back, watch the videos with your children and enjoy reading.
