Eaton - Reception EYFS 2026 - 2027
Miss Loren Rogers
Welcome to Eaton; the home of the Reception Class!
In EYFS, teacher led activities will be balanced with child initiated learning which will allow the staff to plan activities around ideas such as animals, pirates, fairies, plants, superheroes, dinosaurs and anything else that captures your child's imagination. The children access indoor and outdoor provision every day and can choose from a variety of activities that best suit them or interest them the most. We operate as an EYFS unit which consists of both our Pre-School and Reception children working together.
We are super excited to welcome our new cohort of Reception children! During Autumn term we will be exploring All about me, my family and beginning to develop and build on our friendships. We will be focusing on settling into Eaton class and becoming familiar with our daily routines.
We will immerse ourselves in magical storytelling, using our imagination, creativity and curiosity to explore characters, settings and adventures through our high-quality Pathways to Write and Drawing Club texts.
Throughout this term we will looking at all things Autumn! Including seasonal change and what that may look like through plenty of outdoor learning opportunities to explore throughout the school week as well as learning about the importance of Harvest.
We will discover how people around the world celebrate Festivals and Celebrations such as Harvest, Diwali, Bonfire night and of course Christmas!
Eaton have so much to look forward to during this Autumn term including our EYFS Nativity and our trip (TBC).
