EYFS - Our first week at St Basil's

Lesson: EYFS

Class: EYFS (F1) Preschool Year: 2026 - 2027

Congratulations to all of our wonderful children on completing their first full week in school! We are incredibly proud of how well they have settled into school life. The children have been making new friends, building relationships with their classmates, and becoming more confident with the daily routines of the school day.

This week, we had our first PSED (Personal, Social and Emotional Development) lesson and spent time learning about our school rules: Be Safe, Be Proud, Be Respectful. The children have been discussing what these rules look like in practice and have been doing a fantastic job of following them and recieving dojos for doing so! We have also been practising important school routines, including what happens during lunchtime and throughout the day.

In English, we have begun reading our class text, Peace at Last, and the children have enjoyed listening to the story and talking about the characters and events.

The children also enjoyed colouring our school badge and were very excited to take part in their first PE lesson. It has been wonderful to see everyone joining in and trying their very best.

In Phonics, we learned our first sound, 's'. Over the weekend, please encourage your child to look around the house and see how many things they can find that begin with the letter S?

We hope you all have a lovely weekend. Please remember to read with your child and record this in their reading record. Reading books will be checked on Monday, we look forward to hearing about all the reading that has taken place at home.

Well done, EYFS!
