EYFS – SUMMER 2024

As the academic year draws to a close, we have had great fun relecting on the wonderful journey our Pre-school and Reception children have made in just one year. We are delighted to share their joy, growth and achievements.

Pre-school

Welcoming New Friends – This term, we were delighted to welcome five new members to our Pre-school class and greet our new starters for September 2024. It was lovely to see our Preschool children embrace their new friends with kindness and patience, exemplifying the lovely characters they are.

Maths Marvels – Our little mathematicians impressed us with their enthusiasm for numbers. They have been learning about number lines, eagerly creating their own and jumping along to discover what comes before or after a given number. Their excitement and eagerness to learn have been truly inspiring.

Phonics Fun – In Phonics, the children have worked incredibly hard on recognising and making the sounds of different letters. Some of our children moving up to Reception have even amazed us with their sounding and blending skills. It’s been wonderful to witness their progress and dedication.

Graduation – Every day, we prepared for our graduation ceremony; for some, it was their first time performing on stage. The event was a beautiful celebration of their achievements, and we thank everyone who attended and made it so special.

Sea Adventures and Parties – This term’s topic on sea adventures captivated the children’s imaginations as they explored the wonders of our oceans. We culminated this theme with a fantastic Pirates and Mermaids party. The children laughed, danced, and played games in incredible costumes, making it a memorable day for everyone.

School Trip – The final school trip to Croxteth Park Farm was a highlight of the year. The children were thrilled to meet and interact with various animals and learn about the farm’s residents and the dedicated staff who care for them. Their excitement and curiosity were a joy to see.

This year has been incredible, and it has been an absolute pleasure to be your preschool teacher. We are so proud of all the children and their progress. We wish you all a wonderful summer filled with relaxation and fun.

Reception

Under the Sea Exploration – The children dived into the captivating world of ‘Under the Sea,’ exploring mythical creatures and learning about the scientific concepts of floating and sinking. Their hands-on boat-making science experiment was a highlight, where they discovered the principles of buoyancy through play and creativity.

Maths and Phonics Progress – In Maths, our children built a strong foundation by learning about sharing and grouping and gained confidence with numbers up to 20. In Phonics, they focused on adjacent consonants and polysyllabic words, which significantly improved their reading and writing skills. It’s been wonderful to see their progress and enthusiasm.

Sports Day and Ice Cream Workshop – Sports Day was a big success; the children showcased their enthusiasm and made everyone proud with their performances. Another delightful activity was the ice cream sundae workshop. The children had a blast chopping fruits and decorating their sundaes, learning essential skills in a fun and tasty way.

Pirate and Mermaid Party – We hosted a Pirate and Mermaid Party to celebrate the end of our fabulous year. The children had a fantastic time dancing and playing games in their fancy dress costumes. It was a joyful and memorable way to conclude their exciting year.

Our Reception children have had a year of discovery, learning, and fun. They have made tremendous strides in their educational journey, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements.

We hope you all have a wonderful summer filled with relaxation and joy.
