EYFS PANTO Treat
A big thanks to the Friends of Green Top who raised enough money for us to have a little festive treat this afternoon of the Snow White panto coming in to school.
The children all absolutely loved it and enjoyed engaging with all of the classic pantomime fun!
EYFS PRODUCT Be Kind: How do we show we care?
We are very proud to share with you our EYFS product which shows how our EYFS children care.
We hope you enjoy our very special video.
EYFS Autumn Term PoL
A huge thank you to all those who attended our EYFS presentation of learning today and for your support in helping us raise a whopping £1115 to help build the new parent’s room at DRI children’s ward. We hope you enjoyed the event it as much as we did and feel equally as proud of our wonderful children. ❤️
EYFS visited the children’s hospital!
As part of our expedition learning we were invited into DRI to see Katie the Matron and the wonderful work and environment the staff there provide for their patients. Vincent and Elodie represented the school and I am so proud of them for their excellent behaviour and awesome thoughts and suggestions on how to improve the children’s ward. Elodie thought more princesses and phonics sounds were needed and Vincent wanted to see more superhero’s and dinosaurs. Great suggestions guys!
We are looking forward to being able to donate the money raised this term to the children’s ward in developing their much needed parents room.
EYFS Sponsored Walk
A huge thank you to everyone who dressed their child up for our ‘kindness is our superpower’ day. The children did us proud and braved the rain to complete their sponsored walk challenge.
Sponsor money is due Friday 25th October to your child’s class teacher. Many thanks for you support.

EYFS FOOD SAFETY
Food safety advice for children age 5 and under – When sending your child with a packed lunch, please cut small round foods, like grapes, strawberries and cherry tomatoes, lengthways and into quarters. Cut large fruits like melon, and hard fruit or vegetables like raw apple and carrot into slices instead of small chunks.
Many thanks for your support.

Reception Phonics this week
This week the children have been practicing hearing their first set of phonemes in words s/a/t/p, fast blending the phonemes to say words and at breaking down the phonemes in a word! We have been writing the grapheme in lots of different ways to become more confident and remember how to form the graphemes correctly!
The children will receive a homework sheet every Friday (starting today) to practise and consolidate the sounds that we have covered that week. It would be really helpful to aid your child’s progress to practise these phonemes with them daily to ensure that they can retain those sounds.
If you are unsure about phonics or some of the phonics vocabulary that we use with the children we will be holding a Phonics Family Learning session on Wednesday 25th September from 2-3. This session will explain what our phonics sessions look like, the vocabulary used and what you can do to support your child.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask a member of the F2 team.
Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.
EYFS SPONSORED WALK
On Wednesday 9th October the Reception and Nursery children will be partaking in a superhero sponsored walk because ‘Kindness is our superpower!’ The money raised will be to support the paediatric ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary create a new parents room for parents of critically ill children. Please send your child in superhero themed fancy dress on Wednesday 9th. Sponsorship forms will be sent home with your child next week.
Many thanks for your ongoing support in your child’s learning.
