Reception (EYFS)

Reception (EYFS)

Hello, welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception) at Queen’s Drive!

Here at Queen’s Drive our EYFS consists of two Reception Classes – Class 1 and Class 2.
The classrooms are colourful, lively and well -resourced and learning is lead through carefully crafted and specific play skills, supported by a team of two teachers and two teaching assistants.
Our Early Years curriculum is based on inspiring young minds through vibrant, fun filled topics that stimulate the imagination and the curiosity of our youngest learners.

Topics are real life and learning is often driven by the children’s interests and learning needs. This often promotes many interesting questions about the evolving world around them that suddenly becomes a reality!
Each child embarks on an individual journey throughout their time in EYFS and it is wonderful to see how young children develop their personality, academia and confidence by accessing the personalised curriculum that we offer.
The relationship between home and school is a crucial aspect of your child’s educational journey and so we send many Parent App messages to keep you fully informed.

We also regularly post evidence of the children’s learning and give the children activities to complete on the Seesaw App. This is great app that involves you in your child’s learning and helps you support your child’s learning at home.
We also fully appreciate your support with weekly reading books! We love to promote a love for reading and regularly read and share stories with the children. The children will also start to bring their own reading books home to read.

We believe in developing the individual child and so this involves supporting their strengths and nurturing all other aspects so that the children leave the Early Years a confident, independent learner well equipped for the next challenges in Year One.

We welcome all forms of communication as we fully appreciate how busy your days are with little people and so we can be contacted via email if you miss us at the start or end of the day and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Also if you need more information about our Early Years Curriculum please look at our long term plan below.
If you require a more comprehensive documentation, then there is also a link to the Early Years Curriculum.

Kind regards,

Mrs Woods, Miss Till and Mrs Rogers – EYFS Team.
