EYFS – The Conkers

Welcome to The Conker’s class page!

Welcome to the Conker’s Class page. Here you can find lots of information about us so you can keep up to date with all of the exciting things that we get up to throughout the school year.

Mrs Parker (F2P) is our teacher. Mrs Fraser, Miss Piotrowska, Mrs Dempsey and Miss Bursztyn are our Teaching Assistants.

During this academic year, we will be communicating through the use of Class Dojo and sharing lots of the children’s wonderful work there too. Please do ensure you have set up your Class Dojo account in order to access this.

If you need to contact us at any time throughout the year, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We can be reached through the messaging feature on your Class Dojo account, via email or in school, by appointment with the school office.

Our Routines

Our school day begins at 8.40pm and ends at 3.10pm.

Reading for pleasure books will come home each Monday and are chosen by your child. It is ok if they bring books home, they have already read. Remember, this is a book for YOU to read to THEM at bedtime. It will need returning to school on a Friday please.

We have PE on Wednesday afternoon. Please send your child into school WEARING their P.E kit (dark coloured tracksuit bottoms or leggings, a white t-shirt and a red hoodie/sweatshirt or their school jumper or cardigan and wearing trainers or plimsols).

We will visit Eco-Land on Thursday afternoon. Please send your child into school with a suitable coat, sun hat/cap and wellies in a carrier bag.

Our Learning

This half term our exciting topic is called ‘One Small Step’. We will be finding out about Epiphany – The Wise Men’s visit, stars and the planets, finding out what it is like to be an astronaut and fly a space rocket and finally all about Neil Armstrong. How exciting does this sound!

Each week our ‘Everywhere Bear’ will bring us a new book and our week’s learning will be centred around this.

In RE this half term we will be exploring Branch 3: Galilee to Jerusalem. Throughout this topic, the children will know that the wise men visited Jesus. The wise men gave Jesus gifts. Jesus welcomes and takes care of everyone. Jesus wants us to care for other people and he teaches us that we should share what we have with others.

Family Friday Sessions

Once a fortnight we would love to invite you into school to take part in various family sessions. These dates will be confirmed via Class Dojo.
