Welcome to EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage)

What to expect in EYFS

Early Years Foundation Stage (or EYFS) is where your child is welcomed into school and experiences the foundation of their learning journey within the community of TMS.

Our learning environment includes two adjoining classrooms and our own wonderful outdoor area where lots of exciting learning takes place. We also regularly use the school hall and fields.

We have daily phonics sessions with Little Wandle, as well as maths sessions and STAR learning.

Dojo is a secure online Learning Journal where we post a blog each Friday with an update and photos of the learning that has taken place in EYFS during the week, as well as any reminders! Every week, there is an update on the newest sounds learned. The children will love talking to you about their photos and you will have the opportunity to talk to them about their learning!

Each Friday Mr Knight and Mrs Thornton send home a home learning sheet which has all of the GPCs taught that week and how to pronounce them. There is also words to blend and any tricky words we have taught that week as well as an information sheet for each GPC taught that week, this includes the formation phrase and lots of practice activities. The children love showing off their learning at home!

If you have any questions about Dojo, or anything else regarding your child at school, please come and talk to us.
