CURRICULUM LONG TERM PLANS

EYFS Long Term Overview 2025 - 2026

EYFS Autumn Curriculum Summary 2025This week the children have been using all the Phase 2 phonemes they have learnt to read and play fun Phonics Christmas games and read sentences. We have now completed the end of term Phonics assessments ready to start our Wandle reading groups again in January. In Maths we have been looking again at counting rules and how numbers are represented by digits.

In theme we have continued learning about the celebration of Christmas in preparation for our visit to Haileybury church next week.

Home Learning - 12th December

Phonics - Please use the homework sheets from all the previous weeks to review and practice all phonemes learnt this term. Your child will bring home a copy of the tricky words learnt so far this year. Please cut the sheet into individual cards and your child needs to recognise these by sight as they cannot be sounded out.

Maths - We have been counting and recognising numbers to 5 and different ways to order and represent these numbers. Please complete the cut and stick sheet in your child's book bag.

Reading - Your child will not be bringing home a Wandle reading book until next term. You will find an E-Collins log in stuck inside your child's reading record. You can use this to log into the the website below to access a range of Phonics books for your child to read online. *Please note that E-books cannot be accessed via Kindles.

Home Learning - 5th December

Phonics - Using the sheet in your child's book bag for support please practice new phoneme sounds, blending words and reading sentences. Also please spend time practising the tricky words with your child, they need to read these by sight.

Maths - As part of our maths we have been noticing parts within the whole of 4 and 5.

Please spend time talking about the different numbers they can see hiding as parts within the whole. Encourage the use of the stem sentence. E.g. 3 and 1 make 4 altogether

Please use the sheet to encourage children to colour the different parts they could break 5 into.
