This week’s learning in Early Years at a glance!

EYFS

Learning Link: Minibeasts

A warm welcome back, we hope you had a happy and Holy Christmas. We are looking forward to a fun- filled term with the children.

We will start by looking at our RE topic – Celebrate, followed by minibeasts and as our learning is child-led, we look forward to seeing where this will take us.

Dear parents,

We have signed up to a service for parents called School Jam!

What is School Jam?

School Jam is an app for you to download on your phone. Your child’s teacher will send quick and fun maths activities for you to do at home with your child. All the activities are linked to what your child is doing in class. You can also watch short maths help videos revealing how your child is learning maths at school.

What happens next?

You will find a letter at the back of your reading record with a unique code along with the details of how to download the School Jam app. You will be asked to register on the app and enter your code to link to the school. Then, each week, your child’s teacher will send you a fun activity to do together. You can let your teacher know through the app when you have completed the activity and even send screenshots of how the activity went.

What do I need to do now?

Just look out for your School Jam letter in your child’s reading record book and prepare to get Jamming!

If you have any questions please do email your class teacher.

Kind regards

The EYFS Team
