EYFS
Welcome to Foundation Stage online learning page.
Most of our online learning activities during Lockdown are shared on our Class Dojo pages, however some files or content cannot be loaded onto Dojo so will be uploaded here, and a link to them will be put on Class Dojo.
If you have any queries, please contact your child's teacher on ClassDojo.
Take care and stay safe.

Phonics.
Read Write Inc. is a scheme that is already familiar to all our children and is something that we use throughout school. The videos below will help to support your child in their phonics learning, even though the sound of the day might be one that they already know, the extra practise is great. We have completed Set 1 and are about to begin Set 2 at the beginning of January 2021.
Free RWI Phonics lessons at home during school closures
From Tuesday 5th January 2021, Ruth Miskin Training will restart their free Read Write Inc. Phonics lessons on YouTube for children to watch at home.
One lesson at each level will show at 9.30 am each day and be available for 24 hours.

Geraldine the Giraffe, and Mr Thorne does Phonics
During the early part of the school year, we like to use Geraldine the Giraffe. Please only use the sounds that we are currently teaching, so as not to confuse the children. A nice activity to use afterwards is to go on a hunt around the house for items featuring the sound in the video, just like Geraldine does!
Geraldine the Giraffe Season 1
After Christmas, we like to use Mr Thorne's other series as he goes into more depth with word reading.
Mr Thorne Does Phonics Alphabet Series
We also really like Alphablocks. Encourage your child to say the sounds that they see.
