Welcome to our EYFS learning updates page

2024/2025 Cohort

Welcome to The Discovery School! The children have been having an amazing time exploring their new learning environments, making friends and getting use to their daily routines. This term we have also been learning all about our feelings and how we can express them using the Colour Monster's colours! Here are some pictures of what we have been up to:

Term 2

This term our question of discovery is 'what is a celebration and why are they special'. Through this question we have learnt about a range of different celebrations such as Halloween, Diwali, Christmas and Hannukah.

We have taken part in lots of exciting activities linked to these and we went on an exciting walk to post our letters to Father Christmas. We also got to visit Costa for a lovely hot chocolate! After the walk we made our own gingerbread because we learnt the story 'The Gingerbread Man'!

Here are some pictures of what we have been up:

Term 3

This term our question of discovery was, 'who are people that help us and what do they do?'

Through this question we have learnt about lots of exciting job roles in our community!

We also had a visit from The Evil Pea! He damaged our home corner! So we became police officers and solved the crime. This led us onto learning about superheroes.

Here are some of the activities we have been up to:

Term 4

This term our question of discovery is ‘what is a fairy tale and how do we become story tellers? We were so excited because we had special visitors! It was The Three Little Pigs! They came to stay with us so they could be safe from The Big Bad Wolf! We learnt their story and wrote wanted posters to get rid of the wolf. We loved retelling the story and it helped us keep the pigs safe. We loved taking part in a range of exciting activities linked to story telling and fairy tales.
