R1 2024 - 2025

Welcome to R1's Class Homepage!

The EYFS Team are looking forward to the year ahead watching the children make new friends, soak up lots of new learning and having lots of fun along the way! We will be providing a wide range of learning opportunities and experiences to enhance the children's learning and bring as much learning to life as possible through trips, visitors, books and interactive lessons. Each half term I will post the curriculum overview so you can see what learning will take place as the topics change each half term and how you can support at home.

Our topic in Summer 1 is 'At the bottom of the garden'. Throughout this topic we will be learning about...

• Insects 
• Different habitats for insects and animals
• All about David Attenborough 
• Non-Fiction books all about insects, life cycles and the world around us
• Fictional books such as The Extraordinary Gardener, The Hungry Caterpillar and other high quality stories
• Fable stories in RE to support learning of morals (Tortoise and the Hare, Bilal and the Butterfly, The Boy who cried Wolf) 
• How to care for caterpillars and duck eggs and observe how they transform
• Signs of Spring

We will be having lots of discussions about our family and friends, sharing our own interests, exploring the different things that make us unique, and thinking about differences between ourselves and others around the world.

If you would like to add to our learning please feel welcome to send in photos via your child's Dojo portfolio or a physical book or piece of work in your child's book bag. And if you ever have any questions about our learning please get in touch via Dojo.  

Please check back for our Gallery Items throughout the year where we will post regularly about your child's learning. 

I look forward to working with you and please always reach out via Dojo if you have any questions, concerns or worries. Thank you 
Miss Rowark
