Welcome to Bumblebee Class
Miss Lofthouse is the class teacher and Miss Back is the class LSA
Our class topics for the year are:
Autumn 1 - Superheroes
Autumn 2 –Great Britain
Spring 1 – Around the world
Spring 2 - Space
Summer 1 –Minibeasts
Summer 2 – Water
We are the Early Years Foundation Stage where learning takes place through purposeful play opportunities that are led and directed by the children.
Any child's first year at school is the most important stage of their schooling journey. This year provides children with the skills necessary to later progress onto a formal approach to learning.
We strive to ensure all children gain secure personal, social and emotional skills, communication and language and physical skills in order to establish firm foundations, which can later be built upon when learning the academic skills, such as literacy and mathematics.
We work closely with parents and families to ensure a positive and supportive relationship is developed to enhance the outcomes of all children.
You will find lots of useful and important information about Bumblebee class in the downloadable booklet below.
Please also take a look at the following links where you can find some interesting reads to help and support your child within their development and learning.
Books we are looking at this half term- Supertato, Traction Man, Superkid and Captain Underpants.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
