Robins Class have a fenced off area from the main playground which forms part of their 'outdoor learning environment'. They have access to this area throughout the day. For more information on the Reception and Year 1 Curriculum, please visit our Curriculum page under Key Information. |
In our mixed EYFS and Year 1 class, the children's education is planned using cross-curricular learning themes in which areas of learning and subjects overlap to reinforce and compliment each other. Each learning theme is planned carefully to meet the needs and capabilities of the child. We aim to develop knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes necessary for the child's whole development.
At Worlebury we strongly believe that Early Years education is the foundation upon which young children build the rest of their schooling. It is a holistic education that encompasses all learning and development so that 'no child gets left behind'. This is the purpose, nature and management of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Worlebury Primary School.
Year One is the first year in Key Stage One. The children's educationn is planned using the National Curriculum via our Creative Curriculum . EYFS is available to children who enter school from September of the academic year in which they will turn five years old. These children are in the final year of the EYFS. In the National Curriculum this is referred to as the Reception Year, or YR. To read the full policy please look at Policies under Key Information.

Reception Learning Diary
Term 3:
Happy New Year and welcome back! Our learning theme this term is ‘Out of this World!’. We are looking forward to exploring the world beyond the clouds and discovering what we know about space.
When possible, please ensure your child brings in their PE kit as PE is on a Thursday afternoon. Children should also have a coat with them every day (rain or shine) as a good deal of our learning is outside and the temperature is cold – we want to prevent colds and flu!!
The Term 3 and 4 Parent Information booklets contain all that you need to know about our learning. The ‘show and tell’ page lists the activities to complete at home and exhibit in class each Friday. This is week 1. There are also parent guides to support maths and literacy at home. Please continue to read 5 times a week with your child at home. The phonics books are specific to the phonics being taught in class and will help your child to become more confident with sounds for reading and writing. Reading records are audited on a Friday; for each entry recorded, your child will continue to be awarded house points. This will be added on each Friday by Mrs Dunstone.
If you have some spare time in the week and feel you would like to come in and volunteer reading with children for an hour a week, please let me know. We are always grateful to our parent body for the help and support that you give!
Wishing you a wonderful start to 2025 and the adventures ahead!
Mr Gill and Mrs Dunstone.
Terms 1 and 2
Why a wonderful CHRISTMAS experience; we have all come together to remember the true meaning of Christmas. We made our Christingles and lit them with songs and a prayer to remember that our inner light is connected to the light of the world. It was lovely to have Mrs Bamford tending our special Robins service!
It’s all Christmas in Robins class! We have enjoyed playing games, doing art and crafts, party dancing, Christmas lunch and watching the Polar Express. We even got to meet Father Christmas and his Elf! It has been a wonderful and memorable day. Tomorrow we will be doing our class Christingle and watching the KS2 concert in the afternoon.
What an incredible performance by our exceptional Robins class. We are so proud of their hard work and wonderful story telling. Well done all! You learned your lines and spoke confidently. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
Well, that worked out nicely - snow fell down the very day we explored snowmen and made our own craft. Thank you to all of the adults who came into school for our open morning. We had great fun and we hope our learning gave you some helpful ideas for supporting at home. Have a lovely and snowy evening…
As part of our learning about remembrance, we watched a video of a child, who went into a plane with a World War II, veteran, and flew in the sky like real pilots. We then looked at pictures of Flanders’s Field and discussed what the poppy flower represents. Using iPads and our art skills, we created our own poppy drawings and representations and made a giant class poppy. We all agreed that living in peace and harmony makes for a kinder and more compassionate world. We talked about how kind hands and feet, and the way we show and express our feelings to others, is important for keeping friendships and building communities based on respect and justice.
We have had quite the start to our week. We have learned all about Guy Fawkes and fireworks safety, celebrated Diwali and learned the story of Rama and Sita, introduced our new learning theme ‘Let it Snow’ and started role playing our class text ‘The Snowman’.
We have enjoyed reading books using our skills and investigated numbers to 5 in forest school as well as using leaves for Diwali art.
On Monday we are looking forward to doing some work on Remembrance!
Today was very exciting as it was our first buddy lunch. Having lunch with the year 6 children. They all helped the younger children with their lunch and showed them where things need to go at the end of lunch. Lots of smiles all round.
What a fantastic morning we have had in our class. We began the day with a check-in. Following that we had our P.E session. We all managed to get change and learnt all about our bodies and what happens when we expertise noticing our hearts beating faster and our breathing getting quicker and harder. For phonics today we used cotton buds to trace/rub off the letter we could hear at the start of each word. Finally we had our PHSE lesson talking about love. Who do we love and why.
This afternoon our Year One children all came together and enjoyed some time playing together.
Welcome to our new class of 2024-25. We have enjoyed getting to know the school and members of our community. Our Year 1 children have acted as fantastic role models and have helped to explain and show expectations and the routines we follow in school. We have a wonderful class of children who are enthusiastic about their learning!!
A warm welcome to our Robins Class of EYFS and Key Stage 1 learners. We begin our exciting adventure of 'Heroes and Villains'. Please enjoy looking through our Parent Information booklet which outlines our curriculum and learning.
Our Year 1 children have created maps of the classroom to present share with our new children. They will explain our school values and golden rules which we will being discussing in our class contract this week!
