EYFS Curriculum

Autumn 1 2026

We have had a fantastic first half term, and we are incredibly proud of how well all the children
have settled into their new school routines.
The children have had great fun exploring our topic, Wild World. They have enjoyed discovering
the story of Anansi and His Sons, learning about the different powers each son possessed, and
finding out lots of fascinating facts about the creepy world of spiders! The children have also
loved exploring the story of Where the Wild Things Are. They have become kings of the Wild
Things, created their own boats and even designed and made their very own wild things.
The children have been engaging brilliantly with their phonics learning, and it has been
wonderful to see so many of them beginning their reading journey. They particularly enjoy their
reading group sessions, where they are developing their confidence and enthusiasm for
exploring books.
In maths, the children have been learning all about the numbers 1, 2 and 3. They have also
become super sorters and matchers, developing their mathematical skills through fun and
practical activities.
We have also enjoyed an amazing Artist Day, during which the children explored the work of
artist Roy Lichtenstein. They had great fun creating their own fantastic pieces of artwork inspired
by his distinctive style.
We are so proud of everything the children have achieved this half term and look forward to all
the exciting learning and adventures that lie ahead after the break. We hope everyone has a
lovely half-term holiday!
