Early years foundation stage statutory framework (EYFS)

(sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well)

3 prime areas

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Communication and Language

4 specific areas

• Mathematics
• Literacy
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

With all YouTube links we ask parents/carers to be mindful of the range of videos that YouTube offers and therefore oversee their child’s access to it, and access to the internet in general.

Epiphany Term

January 2020

We are delighted to welcome our children back to a new year.

The topic we are going to cover this half-term, until February. Is the magical world of fairy tales.

You’ll be able discover more in our topic sheet here.

Welcome to the Magical World of Fairy Tales Topic Sheet

During your child’s time in reception they will learn a number of key words.

Red words cannot be decoded using the pure sounds that children learn. They are words that have to be learnt by sight.

and Green words can be segmented and blended using pure sounds, e.g. d-o-g and a-w-ay

We’ve put together 45 key words for you to look at with your child at home. Don’t worry if your child can’t remember them all at once. If you have any questions speak to your child’s teacher

Note that some of the links take you directly onto YouTube, which should not be used without adult supervision at all times. If you access videos through our Pinterest, the Youtube adverts won’t appear and your child will benefit from the link between school and home learning and from the repetition.
