Welcome to the Early Years Foundations Stage (EYFS)
Winter Class is the first class at Keevil and the final year ofThe Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Their EYFS journey will have started in nursery and at home and teaches them skills they will need to be sucessful when starting the National Curriculum in Year One. It is also refered to as 'Reception Class'. At the end of the year they will be assessed against 17 Early Learning Goals (ELG's) which focus on creating happy, confident, independent little learners.
Curriculum Information
Please find below more details of the Curriucum in Winter Class
Phonics & Literacy
At Keevil Academy we follow 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Phonics' to teach phonics. Children will have daily sessions in Reception which continue in Year One. For more deatils of the scheme please feel free to ask any questions and look out for more details in your childs contact book and a curriuculum evening in Term One. There is also a parent page on the Little Wandle Website:
Maths
We have daily Math's teaching following the Reception White Rose Curriculum.
Handwriting
In Winter we use non-cursive letters to give the children the best oppertunity to link the letter shape they read, with the letter shape they write, and to help develop sound pencil control skills for all. However as a school we recognise the importance of developing cursive letters which are introduced in Year One.
Class Dojo
Much of our learning in winter class is through play and we use the Interactive Learning Journey software 'Class Dojo' to help record progress towards the Early Learning Goals. Class Dojo allows children, parents and teachers to work closely together. Parents can access the Class Dojo with their accont details at: https://www.classdojo.com/
Please note we will never require you to subcribe to additional features and is completly free to use.
