This week in Year R

Dear Year R Families,

As we come to the end of a truly magical term, we wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and to say just how incredibly proud we are of each and every child in Year R.

This week, we have once again immersed ourselves in all things festive. The children have been busy creating beautiful Christmas crafts, and we hope you have enjoyed seeing (and taking home!) their wonderful creations from our Christmas Market. So much care, pride and creativity has gone into everything they have made.

Alongside all the festive fun, we have continued to revisit and review our learning, particularly in phonics and maths. The children have worked so hard to consolidate everything they have learned this term, and it has been such a joy to see their confidence grow. Watching how much they have developed — not just academically, but socially, emotionally and in their independence — has been incredibly special.

We are so proud of the way the children have settled into school life, formed friendships, found their voices and embraced every challenge with curiosity and courage. It has been an absolute privilege to watch them grow this term.

As we head into the Christmas break, we truly hope you are able to spend the next two weeks making special memories together. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, enjoy time with your families — childhood is precious, and so are the moments you share together.

Thank you for your continued support, kindness and partnership this term. We look forward to welcoming you all back in the New Year, ready for many more adventures together.

With love and warmest wishes,
Mrs Davey and the EYFS Team xx
