All about Eagles
Eagles are an excitable bunch who love practical learning, learning through our play and teamwork. We care, we are helpful and we are inclusive – everyone matters and everyone belongs! We have a very busy role play area, a well-loved art workshop and construction area. We are also big fans of our outdoor classroom - climbing and our mud kitchen are current favourites!
In short, Eagles are awesome!

Our Teacher
|
My name is Mrs Jennings.
Since graduating as a teacher in 1995, I have held different roles in both the education and training sectors. I have taught in Middle, Junior, Primary and Nursery schools across Surrey, Oxfordshire and London. Through my work with all age groups- from babies to adults - I have discovered my true passion is Early Years. When I'm not at school, I like spending time with my teenage children and enjoy country walks and trips to the theatre. |

Our Approach to EYFS and Year 1
In Eagles we learn in a variety of different ways. Sometimes we have whole class input/carpet time, Sometimes we will be learning in small groups with an adult (both indoors and outdoors). We often learn through our play, when an adult often steps in to ask important questions that help us to think and extend our play. We also have ‘busy time’ where we improve our skills in provision. We can choose our area of learning and use the resources provided to consolidate previous learning.
Phonics
|
Phonics is taught daily in groups, working on a specific set of sounds according to the ability of the child. Each session has a distinct structure following Read Write Inc (RWI). The children take home sound cards or a RWI book each week to re-read and develop fluency.

Our Book Focus
This term all of Eagles’ class books will be linked to our project ''Ride a Cock Horse'. Our key focus will be exploring Nursery Rhymes. Our daily story time will enable the class to explore other subjects linked to our project -including families, feelings and where we live stories, poems and non-fiction texts. |
