Welcome to Early Years!

Welcome to Early Years at St Vincents Catholic Primary School! 

Your child's learning will be uploaded to Tapestry. Please upload any learning that takes place at home onto Tapestry and support your child's learning by reading to them daily and allowing them to read to you. 

In Early Years, we follow the Eary Years Foundation Stage curriculum (EYFS) and it is split into seven areas of learning. These seven areas of learning are:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Expressive Arts and Design
• Coummunication and Language
  

Religious Education is at the core of our Curriculum at St Vincent's. 10% of our curriculum time is dedicated to Religious Education - this is delivered through whole class or group input and within our continuous provision.

We look forward to teaching and supporting your child through their EYFS Journey!

Many Thanks,

Miss Wright and the EYFS Team

Reminders

PE
PE days are currently on a Tuesday and a Wednesday in Autumn Term 1. The children will be required to bring in their PE kits into school with them and they will be asked to get changed in school to help promote independence. After Autumn term 1, children will then be required to come into school in their PE kits on chosen PE days.  

Reading
At St Vincents Primary School, we follow the 'Twinkl' Phonics scheme. Children will be given a Rhino Readers online book every Friday that links to the sounds that the children have learnt that week. Once the children have learrnt all their phase 2 sounds, they will then be given a physical phonics book to take home to. Children will also recieve a Reading for Pleasure book for them to take home every Friday alongside their Phonics books. Children's Reading for Pleasure and Phonics books will be changed every Friday so it is important that all books are brought back into school by Friday, ready to be changed for the following week. Reading diaries will be checked once a week when changing their books to ensure that children are reading at home. 

Uniform
Please ensure that all uniform is clearly labelled.
