Welcome to Early Years
Welcome to Early Years at St Paul of the Cross Catholic Primary School. We look forward to meeting all our new starers and exisiting nursery and reception children this September. We hope you had a wonderful summer and that the children are excited about the new term ahead .
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
