PE

Our PE Day is every Friday. We would like all children to come to school already dressed for PE on Fridays rather than get changed at school. Children should wear trainers/pumps, jogging bottoms or shorts, t-shirt and a school jumper or cardigan. Thank you!

Please scroll down for more information on Reading, Phonics and Number so that you can support your child at home. We use Tapestry at Richmond to share all the wonderful learning your child is doing at school.

Developing Early Number Sense

Please watch the video below which explains how we teach number through 'early number sense'. (download the file to hear the audio). The teaching, games and activities during Early Years Foundation Stage are all based on supporting your child to develop their number sense and to give them a very strong foundation in number for the future.

Please see below for our curriculum overview progression maps.
