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.
Autumn Term 2025
This term we will be exploring the magic of Traditional Tales, we will be starting with a much-loved story of The Gingerbread Man! Through storytelling, play and creative activities children will explore characters, settings and sequencing.
Eaton will also be observing Seasonal Changes as Autumn unfolds around us as well as learning about the importance of Harvest. Our celebrations this term will take us around the world and through our community as we explore Diwali, Bonfire Night, and the festive excitement of Christmas.
Eaton PE Sessions
This year PE will be on a Wednesday and a Thursday, please remember to wear your PE kit to school!
Eaton Outdoor learning Session
This year outdoor learning will be on a Monday. Please remember to bring your Forest School base layers to school and ensure you have wellies and waterproofs (labelled) in a bag. The weather is getting colder and we still aim to be outside as much as we can so please pack additional base layers, scarves, hats and gloves to keep your little ones warm!
Home Learning
The most important home learning activities for Reception children are i) to read their school reading books each night and ii) Practise using the phonics mat sent home to learn our sounds.
