This week we have been exploring the theme of growing. We have learnt about the different things that grow - from plants to us! We explored the life cycle of a seed and what a plant needs to grow. We then talked about how we have grown since being babies. The children loved talking about things the can do now that they couldn’t when they were younger. We had lots of fun taking part in different activities such as taking care of the babies, reading books, telling stories with the small world people, make flower potions and creating portraits of different things that grow.

National Poetry Day generates an explosion of activity nationwide, thousands of amazing events across the UK – on doorsteps and at kitchen tables, in gardens and streets, in schools, libraries and public spaces both online and offline – all celebrating poetry’s power to bring people together.
The Day starts conversations, it encourages love of language – and best of all, it’s open to absolutely everyone to join in, quietly or noisily in rewarding and enjoyable ways. As the artform’s most visible moment, it showcases the ways in which poetry adds value to society.
Here our wonderfull F2 students...
F2 - Development Matters 2021, by Mrs Harris
Date: 23rd Sep 2021 @ 10:21pm
In July the DfE published a revised version of Development Matters, the government's non-statutory curriculum guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The DfE have stated that changes to content are minor and providers will not need to alter any planning based on the September 2020 version that they may have already made.
You can download your own copy here ??????
"Minor changes include: updated links, making minor tweaks to wording for clarification purposes, updates to the Introduction and Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning sections to ensure the wording is aligned with the aims of the reforms and reflects the most recent research and evidence ensuring the document is accessible, inclusive, and easier to navigate which includes a new design, layout and colour coding.
No major changes have been made to the curriculum guidance under the seven areas of learning and therefore this update should not impact planning based on the early adopter version of Development Matters."
