Welcome to EYFS - Robins!

Welcome to 2021 and another strange year at Larkrise & in Robins class. 

We all know that life in school is very different at the moment but if you have any worries or concerns about things then I am always willing to answer any questions you have. I am here to support your child in anyway I can during these strange times. 

I am so glad that I have been able to get back to school and be in the classroom with you all. I am looking forward to pushing forward and continuing our fantastic learning. 

Remember if you would like to challenge yourself outside of the classroom there are many fantastic opportunities on Purple Mash, a great online platform. Every child has a login which can be found in their reading diary.

Thank you all for taking home learning in your stride, I can see that all the children have thrived.

I have added fine motor and hand activities which should benefit you all, if you want to look at others available you may find specific ones suitable for you at home. 

Reading Diaries

Your child has been issued a reading book, you need to make sure you use the reading diary to record the home reading as this is used to award ‘Reading Stars.’  Books will be changed every Tuesday and Friday.  Please read the book more than once so that your child can build on their confidence with the story, remember to ask questions and encourage your child to talk about what they have read.

Here are some fun and interesting websites to help with the children’s learning for the topics they cover each half term:
