EYFS Autumn Term Plan 2024

Knowledge Organiser - Celebrations - Autumn 2

Please can you ensure your child's yellow reading record is sent back to school daily in their bookbag. We record in them when reading with children in their reading groups.

Homework - Friday 15th November

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.

Can you child read the sound and blend the words? Support them if they need this. Practice writing the words and use the correct letter formation using the formation phrases in your parent packs from the phonics meeting. If your child is not forming letters correct please find links below to letter formation practice sheets, you can use these to support your child when practising letter formation.

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

Reading -  This week your child will have brought home a yellow reading record, please use this to write what you have read (name of book) and any comments you have regarding your child's reading. Please share your child's E-Collins book with them. Please find support for each read on the inside of the back page.  If you have an issue logging into E-Collins then please contact your child's teacher.

Maths - This week the children in Ash and Beech have been exploring and learning about patten as part of Naational Maths Week. They have talked about what the word 'pattern' means and learnt about 'repeating patterns'. They enjoyed our Maths story 'Simon Sock' and have created their own patterned sock and pattern necklace. Please complete some of the activities on the maths sheet your child will have brought home this week and encourage children generally to use the vocabulary they have learnt to talk about patterns they notice. 

Homework - Friday 8th November

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.
