EYFS

Welcome to Robin's Nest

I would like to warmly welcome you to our EYFS class- Robin's Nest. Here children from age 2 come to learn, grow and explore in our safe, secure setting.  We have very experienced staff as well as a class teacher to ensure that children thrive through carefully planned activities and provision. Play is essential for children’s development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and relate to others. Children learn by leading their own play, and by taking part in play which is guided by adults. 

PE takes place for reception each Thursday and Friday. The reception children will have reading books and will also be learning new sounds and words each day as part of their Phonic sessions. We encourage children to read each night at home and practise their sounds to support their learning in school. Your child will have a reading diary in which you will be able to write a comment each night. Details of homework tasks can be found in your child’s homework book.

Don’t forget to take a look at our ‘Dojo app to see the type of work and activities taking place in class. We also keep parents up to date with class news and life through our weekly newsletter which is available on our class Dojo page. Here you can also find important dates for workshops, class visits and other useful information. 

Thank you for your interest, we hope to see you soon.

The Areas of Learning and Development of the EYFS Framework

There are seven areas of learning and development that shape our educational Programme in our school setting.  All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected.  These areas are crucial for creating curiosity and an enthusiasm for learning, and for building the capacity to learn, build relationships and thrive.

The Prime areas are:

Communication and Language

Physical Development

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Children are also supported in four specific areas, through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied.

The Specific areas are:
