EYFS
Welcome to our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Page
A very warm welcome to our page. We have four classes including Nursery, Maple, Cherry and Fir. All Reception classes often work together as a unit, and have a shared outdoor play area.
Curriculum overviews - please click the link to see our core learning in Nursery and Reception. These overviews outline the topics your child will have each half term; the termly areas of study for each foundation subject; our class texts and English reading/writing objectives, as well as our maths coverage for the year.
How you can support at home
In Nursery and Reception we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. We use "Tapestry", an online learning journal, to record the children's daily learning journey which is then shared regularly with parents and carers.
We do set homework in EYFS. There is an expectation for parents to read with their children on a daily basis for 10 minutes and to have fun learning on ‘Busy Things’ which is available in your child’s London Grid for Learning online account.
By working together, we aim to make this the best possible start to a love of life-long learning. It is a privilege to be sharing your child’s first stepping stone into education.
We hope you will find all the information you need about Nursery and Reception life here at Chase Bridge. However, if you do have any questions, please send an email to info@chasebridge.richmond.sch.uk.
Our EYFS team leader is Miss Noble who is also class teacher to Cherry Class.
