EYFS Curriculum Summary 2024-2025

EYFS Autumn Term Plan 2024

Homework  - Friday 18th October

Phonics - Please complete the Little Wandle Home Learning Sheet with your child. They need to be able to say the sound (phoneme) when they see the letter (grapheme).  Please see links below for the correct pronunciation of sounds.

Oral Blending section on worksheet - This is where you sound out the word for your child and they say the full word back to you. For example you say s-a-t and your child needs to hear the sounds and reply 'sat'. This skill takes practice so please do not worry if your child is not able to do this straight away. Short daily sessions of a few minutes at home support this skill.

Tricky Word - your child needs to learn this word on sight without attempting to sound and blend. 

Please see Phase 2 flashcards below. 

Maths - This week we have been continuing to work on counting skills, including counting accurately with one to one correspondence in a variety of ways, such as, objects that are arranged in a line, irregular pattern, objects that move and objects that you cannot touch or see. 

Ensure that you provide your child a range of opportunities to count objects at home or when out. This could include, playing board games as a family, counting cars in a car park, counting how many steps you take when walking etc.
