Eaton - Reception EYFS 2025 - 2026

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. 

Summer term 2026
 
This term is packed with exciting learning inspired by the changing seasons and the world around us. As we move through spring and into summer, the children will explore seasonal changes, noticing what’s happening to plants, animals and the weather.
 
Using our Pathways to Write texts and Drawing Club, we’ll bring learning to life through high-quality stories that spark imagination, develop language and support early writing skills.
 
Our learning will include lots of hands-on experiences, from exploring life cycles and planting seeds, to discovering minibeasts and learning about life on the farm. We’ll also dive into fun, imaginative themes such as the seaside, under the sea, pirates and mermaids.
 
We’ll be making the most of our outdoor spaces and Forest School area, giving the children plenty of opportunities to learn through play, exploration and adventure.
 
As the term comes to a close, we’ll be focusing on “Moving On Up,” helping the children feel confident and excited about their transition into their next class. We’re also hoping to enjoy a special visit from The Storytent to make our learning even more magical.
