EYFS Home Learning
Each week (on a Monday) we will be posting a weekly overview of the tasks.
To access the weekly overview click on
Weekly overview week 7 (22nd Feb)
The full details of each task will be available on your Tapestry account.
This will be made up of a daily phonics activity, a daily maths activity and a topic activity set on Purple Mash. Please use Tapestry to post picture, videos or photographs of your child’s completed work. Please make sure you check Tapestry regularly as we will also be posting a “word of the day” and some story times. For additional ideas please also see other activities on this year group page.
We will be marking and responding to work sent to us: however this will only happen during school hours. Work posted after 3:30 will be checked and marked the following day. Please note some of the activities on Purple Mash cannot be saved but we can still see if you have completed them.
If you have any difficulties please contact us either on Tapestry or by emailing on office@trimley.net
As of Tuesday 5th January 2021, we will be teaching children remotely unless they are classed as children of a keyworker or those deemed vunerable/ disadvantaged.
In terms of remote learning we will be using Tapestry and Purple Mash to send children work or for work to be sent to us. It is important that your child is able to access Purple Mash. Please remember all the lessons we did on online safety back in September (see the slide further down this page) to make sure you are staying safe when on the internet.
You can access our Purple Mash school login page here: Purple Mash by 2Simple

Mrs Bennett, Mrs Allen and Miss Smith are looking forward to starting the Spring Term with the children in EYFS.
We will start our exciting new topic Prickly Plants and Amazing Animals.
As Resilient Readers we will:–
Remember to complete the Reading Challenge – we challenge you to read for 5 minutes, 5 times a week! Complete and return your Reading Challenge slip every Monday!
Read a variety of stories about Plants and Animals and the New Year.
Read a non-fiction book about animals that live in a cold environment, for example polar bears, penguins or seals.
Answer a variety of questions about the texts to show our understanding, and to show off what we’ve learnt.
Look carefully at the pictures to find out more….use sentences stems like I can see, Look at the, I wonder why?
——————————————
As Wonderful Writers we will:-
*Continue to practise our cursive font, to write our names and each letter of the alphabet.
*Write labels for pictures of animals that live in cold places.
*Draw a picture and write a sentence about a gift, a meal or an exciting time over the Christmas holidays.
*Write sentences with CL at the beginning and FS at the end to respond to our BIG question – Would you rather ….. live in a cold place or a hot place?
*Remember information about animals that live in cold places and use them in our independent work.
*MC Grammar will help us with our learning. We love singing along to his raps! We will make sure that all our sentences start with CLs and end with a full stop. Why not sing along with another one of his awesome raps?

DON’T FORGET TO KEEP READING!
Early Years Bulletin Board
News Flash!
Check this page regularly for Early Years updates.
As we restart the Spring Term we will be having as much P.E. outside as possible. Please make sure your child has a pair of tracksuit trousers and trainers with them. Please make sure P.E bags are in school all week, as due to timetable changes we will be having an additional session each week.
Please make sure you check Parentmail for regular updates regarding school procedures. As you know we can’t take messages on the door so please continue to email us on the office@trimley.net email address before 8:30 with any messages you may have.
Remember that ALL children have a purple mash login code in the back of their reading diaries if your are unable to find your laminated card.
Please remember to stay safe while you are using the internet. Here are some reminders we shared with the children in the Autumn Term.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Parent Helpers Wanted!
At present, Parent Helpers will not be able to come into school. However, when this changes we will let you know, as in the past ….
Parent Helpers Welcome! 
We welcome parents into school, to help our children to improve their reading skills. If you are able to spare a morning or an afternoon, on a regular basis, please let your child’s teacher know. We are very appreciative of your additional support, and it makes a huge difference to the children’s learning. We would love you to come and join us! Tea and coffee provided too!
Learning at Home
We love to share your child’s learning with you on Tapestry.. We also like to see any learning you do at home. This app is able to be purchased through the app store and can be used on most smartphones and tablet devices. You can also access Tapestry through your web brower on the computer. Please do not share photos from Tapestry on social media. If you have any questions about Tapestry please come and speak to Mrs Bennett, Mrs Allen or Miss Smith
Reading Challenge
Don’t forget to read for 5 minutes, 5 times a week! Your reading Challenge Slip must be returned on MONDAY MORNING so the ‘scores on the doors’ can be collated by class teachers during registration and sent to the school office. An Early Years class has never topped the leader board! We need 75% of our classes to read to meet Mrs Ashford’s challenge. Class Prizes available too. Come on EYFS let’s keep reading!
The Language of BAD
We want to be challenged at Trimley St Mary.
We have been using the language of BAD to extend our learning. We have been taking on challenges to show if we are brave, (paddling) adventurous (snorkeling) or daring (diving)!
Maths
In the Spring term we will develop our number knowledge and introduce numbers 1-20. Children need to be able to …
- Count reliably from 1-20.
- Place numbers 1-20 in order.
- Say which number is 1 more or one less than a given number (1-20).
- Begin to use vocabulary involved with addition and subtraction.
Along with number knowledge children also need to be able to:
- Name and recognise 2d shapes and some common 3D shapes.
- Describe the position of themselves using words such as ‘next to’ and ‘behind’.
- Order items based on their height, length, weight or capacity.
- Use objects to create patterns and build models.
- Use vocabulary related to time and money.
We love singing our counting songs here are some links to some so you can sing them at home:
