Welcome to Early Years
Welcome to Early Years at St Paul of the Cross Catholic Primary School. Nursery (FS1) and Reception (FS2) have settled into school life and have been working extremely hard. They have been enjoying daily phonics and number time sessions, along with learning through their own interests.
Your child's learning will be uploaded onto Tapestry. Please upload any learning your child completes when at home. Please also support your child at home by reading daily and supporting them with homework activities which will be linked to our areas of learning in EYFS.
The areas of learning are:
· communication and language
· physical development
· personal, social and emotional development
· literacy
· mathematics
· understanding the world
· expressive arts and design
I look forward to supporting your child through their learning this year.
Many Thanks
