EYFS Curriculum

This half term, the children have been reading the story 'The Magic Paintbrush'. They have learnt all about Shen's magical brush that brings her pictures to life when she completes them.

• The children made their own dragon collages and labelled the parts of the dragon
• They are working very hard on their letter formation and applying their phonics knowledge to complete writing tasks
• The children have thought about their own versions of the story and who might be their villain
• In phonics, the children have been working hard to gain knowledge of Phase 3 phonemes and apply these in their reading

In Maths, the children have been expanding their number knowledge:

• Explored numbers 6, 7 and 8, including their composition
• Worked on developing their subitising skills
• Looked at capacity, using mathematical language to describe how full a container is

The children enjoyed the Number Day activities they completed, raising money for the NSPCC. This included running a shop at snack time where they had to use the correct number of tokens to pay for their fruit.
