Welcome To Reindeer Class - September 2021

Hello and a big welcome to Reindeer class! During their first couple of weeks at Belmont, the children have settled into school life brilliantly and are becoming more and more confident with following the rules and routines of the EYFS classroom. Over the coming weeks, we will continue to practise following our class ‘golden rules’ and start to get used to some new routines, such as whole-school assembly, which we will be joining in with soon. In the classroom, the children have enjoyed following our ‘Choices Chart’, where brilliant choices result in their name peg moving up to the rainbow or even higher – the pot of gold! The children are enjoying making new friends in our class and exploring all the areas of our EYFS provision. The mud kitchen and outdoor role-play areas seem particularly popular! In order for the children to gain maximum benefit from using our outdoor area, we recommend bringing in some wellington boots to keep in the classroom and be used when needed.

Our topic this half term is ‘All About Me’.  Please click HERE to download the Knowledge Organiser which outlines the essential knowledge that we will be covering during this first term, including key vocabulary, definitions, and other information. Please feel free to use this as a reference guide for what your child is learning, and also, as an opportunity to discuss the facts about the topic with your child and find out as much as you can about it. Any knowledge that your child acquires before a topic is taught in class will help them to deepen their understanding in lessons. The children will be talking about themselves and their families. They will be finding out what their bodies can do and how they can keep healthy. 

P.E will take place on Monday and Friday afternoons. Please could your child come already dressed in their PE kits on these days every week.   

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to have a chat with myself or any of the EYFS team at the start or end of the school day when we are out on the playground. 

Yours,

Catriona MacLeod
